It’s already been an action-packed week as the 888poker Live crew descended on Glasgow for the first time. Now it’s time to crown a champion when the final table of the inaugural 888poker Live Glasgow Main Event begins at 1 p.m. local time.
Daniel Johnson built up a massive chip lead late yesterday and begins the final table with 3,455,000. He’s followed by Harry Cattanach (2,320,000) and Martin Byrne (1,615,000).

Right behind them is a player with experience at big final tables. Dean Lyall has two WSOP final tables on his resume and more than $1.6 million in live earnings. He’ll be looking to add a trophy and £58,130 to that record today as he begins as the fourth member of the million-chip club with 1,195,000. Michael Broadhurst (950,000), Zbigniew Wieczorek (785,000), and "GK" (735,000) are in the middle of the pack, while Scottish businessman and lord William Haughey (710,000), who already owns a WSOP Main Event bracelet courtesy of Peter Eastgate, is in eighth place. Jack Moore (485,000) rounds out the final table as the short stack.
The action picks up with 30 minutes remaining in Level 26 with blinds of 20,000-40,000 and a 40,000 big blind ante. Levels will be 60 minutes for the duration of the tournament. The final nine have already locked up £5,780 for making it this far out of a field of 407. The final table will be streamed on a 30-minute delay on 888poker’s official YouTube and Twitch channels.
By the end of the night, one player will leave the Grosvenor Casino Merchant City as the first-ever 888poker Live Glasgow champion. Stay tuned as PokerNews follows all the action until a champion is crowned.
