PokerGo Cup 2026

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.
