Venetian Las Vegas and Super High Roller Bowl Lead First Half of 2026 PokerGO Tour

Poker’s 2026 season is set to launch just days after Chad Eveslage captured the PGT Championship in last year’s star-studded finale—leaving little time for rest, vacations, or meditative retreats. The grind begins immediately.

The PokerGO Tour (PGT) is simple to follow: players accumulate points across PGT series and other high roller events throughout the year. The top 40 point earners qualify for the year-end PGT Championship, which last year featured a $1,000,000 freeroll prize.

Since its debut in 2021, the tour has combined existing PokerGO events like the Super High Roller Bowl, Poker Masters, and US Poker Open with newer additions such as the PokerGO Cup, Texas-based series, and events at Venetian Las Vegas. The 2025 schedule featured over 145 tournaments, including events at the WSOP and a collaboration with the Paradise series in The Bahamas.

2026 Kickoff and Early Highlights

The 2026 season begins with the PGT Kickoff series at the PokerGO Studio from January 26-31. The series features six tournaments with buy-ins from $5,300 to $10,500, and PGT points are doubled throughout the week.

Immediately following, the PGT Mixed Games Series runs from February 3-11 with seven events, buy-ins ranging from $5,300 to $26,000, and a 9-game finale. Mixed games enthusiasts eagerly anticipate this high-stakes, diverse series. The schedule then transitions into the Super High Roller Bowl: Mixed Games, a dual-format series featuring an $8-game $5,300 event on February 13 and the $100,000 classic from February 12-14.

Satellites are available for those looking to join the action: a $750 8-game satellite at ARIA on February 2 awards seats into Event #1, while a $12,700 satellite on February 11 feeds the $100K showdown.

PokerGO Cup Returns

From March 1-15, the PokerGO Cup returns with 10 tournaments, headlined by the PokerGO Cup Showcase, a multi-flight opening event with a $3,300 buy-in. The series climbs to $15,700 at its peak, and defending champion Joey Weissman—who last year notched a win and three runner-up finishes in only seven events—returns to defend his title. Satellites for the opener are available on February 28 and March 1 for $360 each.

Venetian Las Vegas Hosts PGT PLO Series

Later in March, the tour moves to Venetian Las Vegas for eight Pot-Limit Omaha events from March 20-29. The series features two $500,000 guaranteed events, a $3,300 Main Event, and a $10,500 Championship, with satellites running from March 18-20. This marks a return to Venetian following last year’s Las Vegas Classic, building on previous stops including the venue’s early post-COVID $10,000 single-day events in 2021.

The remainder of the 2026 PGT schedule will be revealed in the coming months.
