The ninth installment of the Poker Masters will be the eighth series of the 2024 PGT season and will run from September 10-19, 2024. The 2024 Poker Masters will be held inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The eight-event schedule is a No-Limit Hold'em series with buy-ins ranging from $5,100 to the $25,200 finale, with all events playing down to the final table of six who return the following day to conclude play on PokerGO.com. Each event will allow players a maximum of two reentries, and players in the registration line before the scheduled start time will receive a discount rake on their first entry. The PGT shot clock will be active during the Poker Masters, with players having 20 seconds to act on their hand preflop, and 30 seconds postflop. Time extensions are worth 30 seconds each, regardless of which street they are used, and players begin with eight for entry before the first break and then six thereafter.

Event #1 will be a $5,100 buy-in, and levels in this event will be 30 minutes in duration, with registration closing at the start of Level 9, approximately 4:30 p.m. PT. Events #2 to 7 will see levels increased to 40 minutes in duration, with registration closing at the start of Level 7, approximately 4:30 p.m. PT. The Event #8 finale will see levels increased to 45 minutes in duration, with registration closing at the start of Level 7, approximately 7 p.m. PT.

The Poker Masters is part of the 2024 PGT season, with players earning PGT points based on the amount they cash for in each event. The PGT points awarded during the Poker Masters will also decide who is crowned the Poker Masters champion and receive the $25,000 PGT Passport bonus and the Poker Masters Purple Jacket.

The favorites to make a run at winning the 2024 Poker Masters all sit in the current top ten of the PGT leaderboard. Jesse Lonis (3rd), Daniel Negreanu (4th), Jeremy Ausmus (5th), and Aram Zobian (6th) will all enter the 2024 Poker Masters as the betting favorites to being awarded the Purple Jacket.
