PokerGO Cup 2026: Wilson Crowned Champion as Khavin and Winter Surge
- Brock Wilson crowned 2026 PokerGO Cup Champion.
- Filipp Khavin wins two events, earning over $330,000.
- Andrew Lichtenberger wins the $15,000 Finale, taking home $257,400.
The 2026 PokerGO Cup has concluded with Brock Wilson standing tall as the overall series champion. Wilson’s victory was built on the back of a red-hot performance that included two event titles and four cashes, earning him a $25,000 PGT Passport bonus and a permanent spot in the studio's hall of fame.
Event #1: Early Fireworks
The series began with Kent Stephens winning Event #1, but the narrative quickly shifted to Filipp Khavin. The Florida pro became the first double-winner of the series, taking down Event #2 and Event #8 for a combined haul of over $330,000.
Event #9: High-Stakes Grit
Sean Winter added to his legendary resume in Event #9, banking $210,000. The final table was a testament to the community's strength, as runner-up Benjamin Grise delivered a podium finish despite receiving devastating personal news mid-tournament.
The Lichtenberger Comeback
The $15,000 Finale belonged to Andrew Lichtenberger. Known for his zen-like focus, "LuckyChewy" dismantled a final table featuring 2015 WSOP Champ Joe McKeehen and Canadian vet John Krpan to take home $257,400.
