What is the Poker Masters?
The Poker Masters is a high-stakes tournament series that takes place at the PokerGO Studio at the ARIA Resort & Casino. Hosted for the first time in 2017, the Poker Masters brings together the best of the best and some of the most entertaining players to compete in a seven-event series, featuring No-Limit Hold ‘Em, Pot Limit Omaha, and the U.S. debut of Short Deck Hold ‘Em. With buy-ins ranging from $10,000 up to $100,000, the Poker Masters sees millions of dollars exchange hands with the highly-coveted Purple Jacket™ awaiting the highest point-scorer of the week.
In 2017, Steffen Sontheimer burst onto the scene with an overwhelming Poker Masters Purple Jacket win, winning two events and making a total of four final tables. The German pro pocketed more than $2.7 million on his way to a $7 million year on the international live tournament circuit. America’s Bryn Kenney finished second overall with $1.8 million in earnings and Germany’s Fedor Holz in third with $1 million.
