PGT Last Chance has concluded at the PokerGO Studio, and five players have been awarded Dream Seats into the PGT $1,000,000 Championship, running January 12-13, 2026.

The PGT Last Chance leaderboard is open to any player who has not qualified for the PGT $1,000,000 Championship via the Top 40. Following six events, David 'ODB' Baker was the best performing player after amassing 355 PGT points from his two runner-up finishes. 

Neil Warren earned his first career PGT title in Event #4 for 315 PGT points and finished second overall. Clemen Deng opened the series with a win and added an additional cash prize for 313 total PGT points. Chi-Jen Chu won the penultimate event for his first career PGT title to finish fourth on the leaderboard.

The final spot was earned by PGT regular Jeremy Becker. Becker cashed three times during PGT Last Chance for 193 PGT points, but needed everything to go his way in the final event for him to earn his seat. Becker needed Brandon Wilson to finish in eighth place or better in Event #6 and to fade a plethora of other results.

Becker ticked the first box when Wilson reached the final table, but was then fading a win from Jonathan Little or Josh Arieh. Both of those players reached the final five, but fell in fifth and fourth, respectively, to lock up a Dream Seat for Becker and see him qualify for the first time to the PGT $1,000,000 Championship.
