The Poker Masters series, one of the most prestigious stops on the PokerGO Tour, is set to return to Las Vegas from Oct. 12-23. The action will take place inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino, with PokerNews reporting live throughout the series.
This year’s edition will consist of ten events, with buy-ins starting at $10,500 and climbing to a $51,000 finale. The series traditionally awards a coveted purple velvet jacket to its overall champion.
The schedule kicks off with Event #1: $10,500 NLH on Oct. 12, followed by five additional events at the same buy-in. The stakes then rise to $15,700 for Events #7 and #8, before jumping to $26,000 for Event #9.
The series finale will feature a buy-in of $51,000, nearly double the previous event, making it the most lucrative opportunity for players chasing the purple jacket.
Last year’s series saw several veteran pros find success, including Andrew Moreno, Darren Elias, and Chino Rheem, each claiming titles in $10,100 events, along with PokerGO executive Cary Katz. Ultimately, David Coleman took home the 2025 purple jacket after winning the $1,000,000 Showcase for $270,000 and finishing runner-up to Brandon Wilson in the series finale for $355,000.
PokerGO’s fall calendar also includes the PGT PLO Series from Sept. 25-Oct. 3 and the $103,000 Super High Roller Bowl XI on Oct. 9, ahead of the Poker Masters return.
