The tournament schedule for tenth and final stop of the 2026 PartyPoker Tour has been released. The 20-event season closer, which runs from 12-20 December at Genting Stratford in London, is headlined with a £500 buy-in Main Event with a £100,000 guarantee and a £150 buy-in Mini Main Event (£50,000 guaranteed).
The £150 (£125+£25) Mini-Main Event with a £50,000 guarantee kicks-off the series on the opening weekend, with six flights, before progressing to Day 2 on Wednesday 16th. It concludes on Thursday 17th, when the £500 (£445+£55) Main Event begins, with four starting flights.
While the Mini and the Main are the backbone of the schedule, running throughout the entire 9-day festival, the side events and satellites add further choicer and variety. This includes a multi-day Mystery Bounty, a High Roller, low buy-in NL Hold’em events, plus Sviten, Tennessee Hold’em and several Omaha tournaments.

The PartyPoker Tour is currently in Cork for its first ever Irish stop, but will return to the UK after a final Spanish event in Murcia later this month. The December festival will be the second leg of the tour held in London this year, as the 5th leg was held at the same venue in July. On that occasion, 190 players contested the Main Event, creating an overlay of over £15,000, while the Mini Main Event comfortably exceeded its £50,000 guarantee, attracting 697 entrants, with a final prize pool in excess of £87,000.
Daniel Smith is the defending champion from the London summer edition, when he picked up the £22,500 first prize. He emerged victorious from a final table that included 4th placed Deniz Orhan, who was hunting down his second PartyPoker Tour Main Event title.
Satellites to both the Main Event and the Mini Main Event take place online at Party Poker, with a tour path that does not enable players to buy-in at the last minute. The only way into the direct qualifiers is via a tiered qualifying system, which may seem cumbersome for some, but levels the playing field somewhat for recreational players, as pros and more experienced players are unable to buy-in at the last minute to mop up any value.
Full Festival Schedule
Dates: December 12 to 20, 2026
Venue: Genting Casino Stratford, London
Events: 20 plus satellites
Buy-Ins: Ranging from €60 to €1,000 (satellites from €30)
