Hot Race On Top of PGT Leaderboard Continues Between Alex Foxen and Sam Soverel

The second half of the 2025 PGT season began with a domination of No-Limit Hold'em events, but October saw the return of the highly attended PGT PLO Series and the third annual Super High Roller Bowl: $100k Pot-Limit Omaha. The PGT then relocated from the PokerGO Studio to Resorts World for PokerStars NAPT Las Vegas.

Alex Foxen continued his winning ways by winning Event #2 of the PGT PLO Series to secure his 11th career PGT title while simultaneously becoming the first player to reach the milestone of 10,000 career PGT points. He cashed five times at the PGT PLO Series and moved his season tally to 24 cashes and 2,816 PGT points. Sam Soverel sits second on the PGT leaderboard with 2,772 PGT points. He earned four cashes at the PGT PLO Series, finished runner-up in the Super High Roller Bowl: $100k Pot-limit Omaha, and cashed three times at NAPT Las Vegas, including a victory. In the process, he earned his 13th career PGT title and became the second player to eclipse 100 career PGT cashes.

Chino Rheem is third on the PGT leaderboard with 2,350 PGT points and a season-leading 29 PGT cashes. Rheem was crowned the PGT PLO Series champion, winning the $25k Pot-Limit Omaha Championship and cashing seven times. Michael Mizrachi, Nick Schulman, Adam Hendrix, and Daniel Negreanu either didn't play or didn't cash in any events, and remain fourth, fifth, seventh, and eighth on the PGT leaderboard, respectively.

Jesse Lonis is now sixth on the PGT leaderboard with 1,679 PGT points. He cashed three times during the PGT PLO Series and once at NAPT Las Vegas. Rounding out the PGT leaderboard top ten are Joao Simao and John Riordan. Simao sits ninth on the PGT leaderboard with 1,594 PGT points after cashing three times at the PGT PLO Series, finishing third in Super High Roller Bowl: $100k Pot-Limit Omaha, and cashing two times at NAPT Las Vegas, including a victory. Riordan sits tenth on the PGT leaderboard with 1,594 PGT points after cashing five times at the PGT PLO Series before winning the Super High Roller Bowl: $100k Pot-Limit Omaha for $1,250,000. 

Other big moves on the PGT leaderboard include Stephen Chidwick (13th - 1,431 PGT points), Sean Rafael (14th - 1,390 PGT points), Bryce Yockey (35th - 1,105 PGT points), and Jeremy Ausmus (46th - 922 PGT points). Chidwick earned his 11th and 12th career PGT victories and joined Foxen in the 10,000 PGT points club. Rafael picked up five cashes at the PGT PLO Series and won the NAPT Las Vegas $25k Pot-Limit Omaha for $171,700. Yockey finished second to Rheem on the PGT PLO Series leaderboard with his two wins, while Ausmus earned his 100th career PGT cash at NAPT Las Vegas.
