PartyPoker Tour's €500K Main Event pays out €170K to 142 players so far

The €500 Main Event at the PartyPoker Tour has seen 142 players secure prize money by March 30, 2026. With a total prize pool of €500,000, the competition has already distributed €170,435 among participants. The tournament, which attracted 383 planned entries, continues with high stakes as more players vie for the remaining rewards. The event has progressed to Level 13, where Niall 'Firaldo' Farrell, a PartyPoker Tour Ambassador, faced elimination. Holding just 2,000 chips with blinds at 4,000/8,000, his exit followed that of fellow ambassador Barry Carter, who was the first to leave the tournament. So far, 79 entries have been recorded, but the field remains competitive as players push for deeper runs.

Farrell's departure marks the second ambassador to bow out of the €500 Main Event. Despite his early exit, the tournament continues to draw attention, with more players still in contention for the remaining share of the €500,000 prize pool.

As of now, 142 players have already earned payouts, with €170,435 awarded so far. The event remains in full swing, with the remaining participants battling for higher placements. The next stages will determine how the rest of the prize money is allocated among the field.
