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.
