PokerGO and the PokerGO Tour are thrilled to announce the PG Last Chance Series, an exciting series of high-stakes poker tournaments designed to give players one final opportunity to secure their place in the season-ending PGT $1,000,000 Championship. Held at the luxurious PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas from 2nd to 9th January 2025, this six-event series will feature $10,100 buy-in tournaments, each awarding valuable PGT leaderboard points to boost players into the coveted top 40 of the season standings.
Running as a climactic finale to the PGT schedule, the Last Chance Series offers intense competition for those on the bubble of leaderboard qualification. With only the top 40 eligible players advancing to the PGT Championship, each tournament in this series provides a critical chance to gain ranking points and, ultimately, a shot at the season’s most prestigious prize.
In addition to leaderboard points for each event, the PGT Last Chance Series features a unique incentive: the series leaderboard will award three “Dream Seat” entries to players who do not finish in the top 40 but perform exceptionally during the Last Chance Series. These Dream Seat entries will grant entry into the PGT $1,000,000 Championship, allowing players one final chance to claim glory. Additionally, the five players ranking fourth to eighth on the Last Chance Series leaderboard will receive a Dream Pass, granting them access to the exclusive Dream Seat Invitational, where they’ll have yet another chance to make their PGT Championship dreams come true.
The PGT, Last Chance Series, is the ultimate final sprint for top-tier poker talent who have fought throughout the season to rise in the standings. Each tournament within the series offers high-stakes, competitive action that will culminate in the season’s most elite event: the PGT $1,000,000 Championship.
The PGT Last Chance Series is also important for players that have a good standing in the top 40 of the leaderboard because the more points earned during the PGT regular season can lead to more starting chips in the PGT Championship event.
