The top 40 ranked players on the PokerGO Tour will earn a seat to the 2023 PGT Championship as well as a select group of “Dream Seat” winners. The Dream Seats, awarded via special events and promotions, grant players exclusive entry to compete in the PGT Championship inside the iconic PokerGO Studio.

Qualifying players will begin the 2023 PGT Championship with starting chip stacks based on leaderboard points earned throughout the season with all players receiving a minimum of 100 big blinds. The player who finishes the 2023 PGT season with the most leaderboard points will be named PGT Player of the Year and will be awarded a $50,000 prize.

“The PGT is committed to growing the game at the highest levels and celebrating the best players in the world,” said Mori Eskandani, President of PokerGO®. “After capping off an incredibly successful second season of the PGT, we’ve decided the only way to go is up. Not only will the PGT Championship see the game’s best players and brightest stars compete for a $1,000,000 prize pool, but it will provide an exclusive group of PGT Championship Dream Seat winners with an opportunity of a lifetime to compete in one of poker’s most prestigious events.”

PGT championship bonuses of $25,000 will be awarded for each of the PGT Mixed Games and PGT PLO Series.
