The 2024 Poker Masters presented by PokerStars NAPT has crowned its newest champion. Jim Collopy topped the leaderboard to win the Poker Masters Purple Jacket, a $25,000 PGT Passport, and the PokerStars Gold Pass for the upcoming NAPT Las Vegas.
Collopy follows in the footsteps of Steffen Sontheimer (2017), Ali Imsirovic (2018), Sam Soverel (2019), Alexandros Kolonias (2020), Eelis Parssinen (2020), Michael Addamo (2021), Sean Winter (2022), and Stephen Chidwick (2023), who were previous Poker Masters champions. Unlike previous conclusions to PGT majors, there would be no final table sweat for the eventual champion as all the players still in contention were eliminated prior to the final table of Event #8.
According to The Hendon Mob, Collopy has amassed more than $9,700,000 in lifetime tournament earnings and now sits 71st on the United States All-Time Money List. At this Poker Masters, Collopy earned $521,600 in prize money and cashed in four consecutive events by reaching the final table on each occasion by finishing in sixth, third, second, and second.
Although Collopy fell short of a victory, he has $3,351,486 in career PGT earnings, which includes 37 cashes, 18 final tables, and 11 podium finishes.
