BetRivers Poker wrapped up its 2026 Multi-State Summer Series on August 16 after 15 days of action across Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Michigan, and Delaware. The festival ran from August 2-16 and featured 96 championship events with guarantees exceeding $450,000, ultimately drawing 18,700 entries and paying out $581,806.91 in total prize money.
The standout performer was Michigan’s Dan “DrDadPoker” Schill, who put together an unprecedented six-title run. His hot streak began with back-to-back victories in Event #15-S ($733.78) and Event #18-S ($267.44), followed by a win in the higher buy-in Event #21-G Weekend Wrap PLO for $1,931.41.
Schill wasn’t finished there, adding wins in Event #26-S and Event #44-S before capping his run by taking down the very last tournament of the series, Event #48-S, for $998.44.
Other players also secured multiple titles. Pennsylvania’s “vadym” won two early events before claiming the $200 MSS Main Event on the series’ closing Sunday for $7,715.48. Player “moontime” also picked up three wins, including a $3,814.81 score in Event #31-G, while nine other competitors each notched two titles apiece.
The series also featured Gold and Silver Leaderboards, rewarding consistency across a player’s best five cashes. “vadym” topped the Gold Leaderboard with 224.10 points for $1,400, edging out “moontime” in second.
On the Silver side, Schill’s strong showing carried over, as he finished first with 227.93 points for $400, ahead of “Liebro” in second place.
