Poker players and their net worth is a smoking hot topic right about now. Why? Well, who wouldn’t be interested in knowing the big bucks these poker players take home after shipping major tournament / series titles. One such player is Jason Koon. The Weston-born poker pro shipped PokerGo Tour’s (PGT) Championship 2022 for $5,00,000 along with a shiny new trophy. Koon was leading the two-day event and kept the pressure on his rivals who were only sweating hard and fast.
Who’s better than @JasonKoon?
No one.
He defeated @phil_hellmuth heads-up in High Stakes Duel, he dominated in the 2022 Poker Masters, and now he has triumphed over the world’s best in the PGT Championship.
