The PokerGO team just wrapped another successful live poker series, another group of high-stakes tournaments at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. Some of the biggest names in poker competed in the dozen tournaments. And they brought their big bankrolls with them, as the tournament buy-ins ranged from $10K to $100K.
The Poker Masters is one of the most prestigious high roller series on the PokerGO Tour, as it is an annual series and it offers the Poker Masters Purple Jacket as the coveted top prize. That and an extra $50K go to the player who wins the overall series via a leaderboard system.

Leaderboard Challenge
Players earned points throughout the series to compete on the Poker Masters leaderboard. When the final points tallied, they showed these results:
Addamo spoke to PokerGO after the second win, saying it was an “incredible run of winning a lot of all-ins.” He also spoke to the excitement of winning two tournaments like this in quick succession, as well as the importance of study. “I’ve put in so many hours studying the game, and I still feel like every time I get humbled and that there’s still so many things to learn. But it’s incredibly important and you can see who has been putting in the work and who hasn’t.”

Even with those finishes and money earned, it didn’t change the status on the overall PokerGO Tour presented by Guaranteed Rate leaderboard. Ali Imsirovic sits securely in first place with 3,095 points, far ahead of Sean Perry in second with 2,301 points.
There are numerous stops remaining on the tour through the rest of the year. There are four Aria High Roller events in September, along with the Super High Roller Bowl VI.
