Las Vegas, NV (January 31, 2025) — The PokerGO Tour® (PGT®) and Champions Club Texas are pleased to announce the return of the PGT Texas Poker Open, following a highly successful inaugural event in 2024. The series will once again bring world-class tournament poker to the Lone Star State, featuring a $3,300 Main Event with a $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.

The full series runs April 16-29, with the highly anticipated PGT Texas Poker Open Main Event beginning on Wednesday, April 23, with the first of eight starting flights. As an official PGT-qualifying event, players finishing in the money will earn PGT leaderboard points, positioning themselves for a potential seat in the PGT $1,000,000 Championship at the end of the season.

Last year’s inaugural event attracted 735 entries, producing an exhilarating competition that saw Ren Lin crowned champion to the tune of $400,000. With another giant turnout expected, the PGT Texas Poker Open remains one of the most exciting and prestigious tournaments in the country.

“After the overwhelming success of last season’s event, we’re thrilled to bring the PGT Texas Poker Open back to Champions Club Texas,” said Tim Duckworth, PokerGO Director of Live Events. “Texas continues to establish itself as a premier destination for tournament poker, and we are excited to build on the momentum with another high-caliber event.”

“We were blown away by the response to the first-ever PGT Texas Poker Open and are eager to welcome players back for another incredible tournament,” said Isaac Trumbo, President of Champions Club Texas. “The PGT represents the pinnacle of tournament poker, and we look forward to once again showcasing Texas’ passion for the game inside our premier venue.”

In addition to the $3,300 Main Event, the schedule features a variety of tournaments, including four high-roller events, offering players even more opportunities to compete for big prizes and valuable PGT leaderboard points.
