After debuting in 2024, The Hendon Mob Championship is returning to London for its 2025 finale. From December 2 to 7, Genting Casino Stratford will host the UK poker festival, offering five trophy events and more than £200,000 in guaranteed prizes.
Cash Prizes and Seats to Main Event and Opener Deepstack
The series is running alongside the Unibet Deepstack Open, with online qualifiers already underway. Players can win packages that include seats to both the Main Event and the Opener Deepstack, as well as spending money.
Roland Boothby, GPI/THM Head of Partnerships, said:
We’re thrilled that THMC London will return for a second year under the new casino ownership in Stratford. Our aim is to continue building this event as The Hendon Mob’s flagship London stop, preserving the original Mobster’s legacy by establishing a staple annual event within the grassroots London poker scene.
Boothby added that Genting Stratford “have hit the ground running with an ambitious poker schedule”, something they are particularly delighted about, while praising their decision to show their confidence in them and “remain a part of it”
Two-Day Event with Late Registration
This year, both headline events have bigger guarantees. For starters, the Opener Deepstack has boosted its prize from £25,000 to £30,000, while the Main Event guarantee has jumped from £100,000 to £150,000.
The Opener, which has been scheduled to run for two days, features extended late registration that will stay open until the start of the second level on Day 2. This way, latecomers will have plenty of opportunity to join the action.
Another attraction at this year’s edition is the extra Cape Town poker package that the Main Event champion will receive. Besides the significant cash prize, the winner will also enjoy a truly unique poker experience in one of the world’s most scenic destinations.
During the festival, players will also have the chance to compete in cashout satellites to secure their entry into the Main Event and the Deepstack Opener, along with additional side events. The list includes the Friday Night Deepstack and a Pot Limit Omaha event.
The series will wrap up with the highly-anticipated THMC Closer on December 7, which will provide a more relaxed tournament with a £5,000 guarantee.
THMC London continues to grow as a landmark event for the city’s poker scene. With increased guarantees, a new international package for the champion, and a full schedule of events, it promises an exciting week for both seasoned players and newcomers.
