888poker LIVE Glasgow 2026 Full Results and Winners

Lechner, who describes poker as a "profitable hobby" for the past 18 years, arrived in Glasgow with roughly $220,000 in career live earnings and left with the biggest title of his life. After a heads-up deal was struck between Lechner and Brit Richard Kellett, the Austrian fought off his opponent in under 45 minutes to claim both the extra cash and the coveted trophy.

888poker's squad had a tough week in the Main Event, with just one player cashing. Jesus "el_chur" Ramos was the last team member standing, finishing a respectable 17th for £2,460.

Glasgow's own Dean Hutchison ended a tournament drought dating back to 2023 by winning the High Roller, besting a 65-player field and taking home £31,060. Hutchison, who sits fourth on the all-time Scottish live earnings leaderboard with over $3 million, was dominant throughout, sending 888poker ambassador Ian Simpson to the rail in 3rd place after flopping a set of fours against Simpson's ace-queen.

Gaoyang Yang, who had cashed the same event 12 months earlier for just £570, completely turned the script in 2026, topping a 457-entry field (£95,510 prize pool) for a career-best £16,745 in a four-handed deal. Yang also reached the Main Event final table, finishing 5th for £12,110, making Glasgow his breakout series.

Martin Lechner left Glasgow with more than just a trophy. "This year, I started to play a bit more professionally. I want to focus a bit more on the technical part," he said. "Looking forward to the next 888 stop. Maybe I can join in Barcelona in May."
