The fifth event of the prestigious Poker Masters 2026 series is wrapping up at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. Event #5: $10,500 NLH saw 85 entries, with a prize pool reaching $850,000.
The final day kicks off with the last 7 players, each guaranteed at least $34,000. The overall winner will take home the trophy and a prize of $229,500.
Leading the charge is Spanish poker sensation Adrian Mateos, who has a chance to overcome a frustrating start to the series, where he finished on the bubble in three out of four events and came in second in one event.
Challenging him for the title are some big names from the American scene. Coming in second is Poker Hall of Fame inductee Nick Schulman, followed by Jeremy Becker. Martin Zamani and Robert French are close behind. Keith Lehr and short stack Matthew Wantman round out the final seven.
