Poker Masters is one of the most well-known high stakes poker series launched in the year 2017. The series hosted its maiden edition in September 2017 and had five tournaments listed on its schedule. The Main Event back then was shipped by a German player named Steffen Sontheimer.
Not just the $100,000 Main Event, the winner took home a Purple Jacket. Sontheimer also made five final tables that year and accumulated a good deal of money apart from the Main Event prize of $1,512,000.
Poker Masters has been growing steadily in terms of popularity and sees many top pros from the international poker circuit grind. Poker Masters Main Event winners list also includes names like Jason Koon, Michael Addamo, Isaac Haxton, David Peters, Sam Soverel and Linus Loeliger.
The coveted Purple Jacket was awarded on the basis of the winnings a player has collected from the series. But in the year 2018, this changed. The organisers of this highly anticipated poker series awarded the Purple Jacket in 2019 to that player who had earned the most number of points as per the High Roller of the Year system. In 2021, again the system to award the Purple Jacket changed.
In 2021, Poker Masters went by the PokerGo Tour points system to give away that prestigious honour. Players like Sontheimer, Ali Imsirovic, Sean Winter, Michael Addamo, and Sam Soverel.
