STREAM: Poker Masters GRAND FINALE | $50,000 No Limit Hold'em Final Table

The final showdown of the prestigious Poker Masters 2026 series is taking place at PokerGO Studio. Event #10: $51K NLH drew 31 entries, creating a prize pool worth $1,550,000.

The final day kicks off with the last 7 players. However, the prize money is reserved only for the top 5, which means two finalists face elimination on the dreaded money bubble. On the other hand, the champion will walk away with a first prize of $620,000.

Leading the pack is Marius Gierse, yet the poker world’s attention is primarily on Jeremy Ausmus, currently in third place. Ausmus is the only player who can potentially overtake Spain’s Adrian Mateos for the overall series victory, securing the iconic Purple Jacket along with a $25,000 PGT Passport bonus. For that, though, Ausmus must finish in either 1st or 2nd place.

The strong final seven also include Sam Laskowitz, Sean Winter, Dan Smith, Igor Yaroshevskyy, and Chris Brewer.

STREAM: Daniel Negreanu Leads Poker Masters Event #9 - Final Table

The Poker Masters 2026 is nearing its conclusion. The penultimate event is the Event #9: $26K NLH, drawing 50 entries, boosting the prize pool to $1,250,000.

With the money bubble bursting, the series' overall leaderboard leader Adrian Mateos had his unlucky fifth exit, while David Coleman bowed out in 8th place. Just 7 players remain in the hunt for the title.

Each finalist is guaranteed at least $50,000, and the winner will walk away with $412,500.

The spotlight of the final table is on the legendary Daniel Negreanu, who is in top form. After a morning of golf before the tournament's opening day and an evening with a few glasses of wine, he bagged the largest stack.

Hot on his heels are Nicholas Seward, Daniyal Gheba, Brandon Wilson, Sean Perry, Matthew Wantman, and the freshly minted three-time WSOP bracelet holder Jesse Lonis.
