Joey Weissman Wins Fifth PGT Title at Poker Masters

Joey Weissman, a poker player born in New York and living in Las Vegas, earned his first major success after a long break from live poker. Weissman won the third event of the 2026 Poker Masters series held at PokerGO Studio, collecting his fifth PokerGO Tour title and a $218,400 prize.

This victory pushed Weissman's career earnings above $11 million. The player had previously won his second WSOP bracelet in the WSOP Online fall series. In the Poker Masters standings, Weissman is now second with 241 PGT points. The leader is Myles Mullaly, who has cashed in all three of the first events.

At the final table, Weissman started fourth of six remaining players. Eliminating chip leader Jeremy Ausmus was the turning point of the tournament. Weissman won the pot against Ausmus, who held A-Q against Weissman's 10-9. In the final stage, Jeremy Linde failed to catch the kings, and the outcome of the tournament was decided.

A total of 78 players entered the event, and a prize pool of $780,000 was shared. Weissman's win showed that he has regained his form after a long period away from the felt.
