The PGT Mixed Games has crowned its newest champion, with Chino Rheem topping the leaderboard to win the PGT Gold Cup and a $10,000 PGT Passport.
Rheem follows in the footsteps of Dan Zack (2023), Max Hoffman (2024), and himself as PGT Mixed Games champions. Rheem was crowned the series champion in October 2023 after cashing five times and fading late runs by David Funkhouser and Nick Schulman. Rheem joins David Peters as the only player to win multiple series titles in PokerGO owned-and-operated events, as Peters won back-to-back U.S. Poker Open titles in 2019 and 2021 (the series wasn't run in 2020). Rheem is the first two-time series champion in PGT history, as the tour began in 2021.
Following a deep run in Event #3 where he fell in third place, Rheem followed that in the next event by winning his fourth career PGT title. Rheem and Arieh chopped the prize money but played for the PGT Mixed Games trophy and PGT points where Rheem came out ahead. Two events later, Rheem added an eighth-place finish after being chip leader at one point with eight players remaining.
Rheem was an early Day 2 casualty in the $25k 10-Game Championship, and when Maxx Coleman's run ended in eighth place, Rheem secured the series title.
According to The Hendon Mob, Rheem has amassed more than $15,866,000 in lifetime tournament earnings and sits 80th on the All-Time Money List. Rheem won $348,500 during PGT Mixed Games to take his PGT career earnings to $3,229,758 from his 38 career PGT cashes and 24 career PGT final tables.

Rheem finished with 384 PGT points to be crowned the PGT Mixed Games champion for the second time after winning in it in October 2023 after amassing 388 PGT points from his five cashes and one victory. Rheem also moves to eighth on the PGT leaderboard with 422 PGT points on the back of his four cashes this PGT season. With the PGT PLO Series coming up next, Rheem will likely be able to creep further up the PGT leaderboard.

For the first time in the 2025 PGT season, No-Limit Hold'em took a back seat as mixed game players worldwide traveled to participate in the fourth installment of PGT Mixed Games. PGT newcomer Nicolas Milgrom kicked off the series by winning the $5,100 H.O.R.S.E. for his first PGT title, while mixed games stalwart Adam Friedman found victory in the record-smashing 148-entrant $5,100 8-Game field.
The buy-ins were then kicked up and two-time WSOP bracelet winner Ryan Miller won the H.O.R.S.E. while Rheem won his fourth career PGT title in the 8-Game. The newest event for the series nearly had a fairytale ending as its namesake, Mori Eskandani, finished runner-up to Maxx Coleman in Mori's Mix.
Daniel Negreanu won his tenth career PGT title in the $15k Dealer's Choice after defeating fellow PGT regular Nick Schulman in heads-up play.
