$500,000 Freeroll Tournament at PGT Championship

The 2026 season championship of PokerGO Tour will be played on January 11-12, 2027, at PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. The tournament will be run as a $500,000 freeroll, and the top 40 players in the season standings, along with a select group of Dream Seat winners from the RunGood Poker Series or elsewhere, may take part.

Starting stacks will be determined by standing in the rankings, which will give the best performing players a head start. Prizes will be paid out to the top five finishers. The minimum payout will be $25,000. Of this, $10,000 will be paid in cash and $15,000 as PGT Passport cash. The winner will receive $250,000. Of this amount, $100,000 will be cash and $150,000 will be PGT Passport cash.

In the season standings, Sean Winter leads with 2 wins, 17 cashes and 2,223 points. Behind him are Finland's Eelis Parssinen and American Jeremy Ausmus. Alex Foxen, Brock Wilson and Adrian Mateos are also in the top ten. Daniel Negreanu is also among the top 40.

There are still a few festivals left in the season, so the list may change. To qualify through the standings, players must cash in at least four PGT tournaments this season and confirm their participation before the PGT Last Chance Series begins. In last season's $1 million championship, 54 players competed, and Chad Eveslage won the title for $500,000.
