What is the PGT Championship?

The PGT Championship is the season-ending poker tournament for the PGT. Players must qualify by being ranked in the top 40 of the PGT leaderboard at the end of the season or by winning a Dream Seat.

Unique to the PGT Championship, starting stacks in the event are based on PGT leaderboard points earned throughout the season. All players, including Dream Seat winners, will start with a minimum of 100 big blinds.

In 2022, Jason Koon defeated Sean Winter to be crowned the PGT Championship winner and recipient of the $500,000 first-place prize. Stephen Chidwick topped the 2022 PGT leaderboard and was crowned the 2022 PGT Player of the Year.
