Chi-Jen Chu Wins PGT Last Chance Event #5: $10,100 No-Limit Hold'em
The PGT Last Chance concluded with Event #6: $10,100 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo from the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Alex Foxen emerged victorious to claim $232,400, 232 PGT points, and the PGT Gold Cup. This victory marked Foxen's 12th career PGT title and his 5th of 2025. With the win in this final event of the 2025 PGT season, Foxen also overtakes Sam Soverel and moves up to 1st on the PGT leaderboard with 3,134 PGT points.
The field of 83 entrants created a prize pool of $830,000, and the final 12 players earned a piece of it. Stoyan Madanzhiev was the unfortunate bubble boy when he got his chips in with ace-ten against ace-seven, and a seven hit the felt on the river. Matthew Wantman (12th), Byron Kaverman (11th), Erik Seidel (10th), Philip Sternheimer (9th), and Chino Rheem (8th) were the first to fall in the money.
