The 2025 PokerGO Tour Last Chance series saw solid performances reshape leaderboards, finalized Dream Seats, and concluded with Chad Eveslage winning the $1,000,000 Championship Freeroll.
The 2025 PokerGO Tour Last Chance series served as the final gateway into the season’s Championship Freeroll, forcing players to rely on either season long consistency or late series execution. Series events determined Top 40 finishes, Dream Seat qualifiers, and the ultimate resolution of season awards.
Events That Defined Qualification
Clemen Deng opened the series with a win in the first $10,100 No Limit Holdem tournament. Facing a final table that included Matthew Wantman, David ODB Baker, Jesse Lonis, Cary Katz, and Phil Hellmuth, Deng captured critical PokerGO Tour points and established early momentum.
Patrick Leonard continued the trend in event two, winning $315,000 in the $10,100 No Limit Holdem event for his second PokerGO Tour title. The result mirrored his payout from a victory one year earlier and secured his position inside the Top 40. David Coleman finished runner up for $195,300, remaining in contention as the series progressed.
Event three marked a turning point for Brandon Wilson. Starting outside both qualification thresholds, Wilson’s performance moved him into Top 40 range while giving him a commanding lead on the Last Chance leaderboard. This flexibility left him with two viable routes into the Championship field.
The fourth event placed emphasis on Dream Seat standings. Neil Warren, short stacked at the final table, secured the win for $315,000 and 315 points. While he remained outside the Top 40 season rankings, his position near the top of the Last Chance leaderboard kept his Championship hopes alive.
Chi Jen Chu broke through in event five. Despite beginning the final table with limited chips, Chu defeated David ODB Baker heads up to win $263,850 and 293 points. The victory marked Chu’s first PokerGO Tour title and elevated him into direct Dream Seat contention.
The final Last Chance event saw Alex Foxen secure his 12th PokerGO Tour title. Foxen earned $232,400 and concluded the season with 3,134 points and 27 cashes totaling $6,277,148.
He became the first player to reach 100 PGT cashes and surpass 10,000 career points, finishing the year as Player of the Year with a $50,000 bonus. Brandon Wilson’s second place finish for $149,400 finalized his Championship Freeroll entry.
Championship Freeroll Closes the Season
The $1,000,000 PokerGO Tour Championship Freeroll brought together the Top 40 players from the season leaderboard and 14 Dream Seat qualifiers. Chad Eveslage entered the event following his Super High Roller Bowl Mixed Games win earlier in the year.
Eveslage secured the Championship Freeroll title and $500,000 by defeating Andrew Lichtenberger heads up. Lichtenberger earned $200,000 after controlling much of the event. The final table also featured Daniel Negreanu, Michael Wang, Aaron Kupin, and John Riordan.
The Last Chance series concluded with clear outcomes across all qualification paths. The structure rewarded players who delivered under pressure while preserving space for late surges. Chad Eveslage’s Championship win provided a fitting conclusion to the 2025 PokerGO Tour season.
