The PokerGO Tour (PGT) high-roller action made its way to Bellagio Resort & Casino this week for a series of 13 high-roller tournaments that are part of the WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic festival.
Action kicked off on Saturday, October 8, with the $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em event attracting nine entrants. Steve Zolotow defeated Mikita Badziakouski heads-up to win the $135,000 first-place prize while securing his seventh-lifetime tournament victory. Event #2 on Sunday was canceled, but Monday hosted the first $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em tournament that saw Nick Schulman chop with Sean Winter to take home the lion's share of the prize pool with the $68,256 first-place prize.
Tuesday hosted the only mixed game tournament of the series as Eli Elezra chopped with PokerGO President Mori Eskandani to capture the $57,000 first-place prize. Another chop occurred in Event #5 as Justin Bonomo secured his second cash of the series and the $75,792 first-place prize ahead of Stephen Chidwick. The first of three Pot-Limit Omaha events ran on Thursday as 23 entrants created the biggest prize pool of the series. Michael Duek defeated Dylan Weisman heads-up and won the $105,800 first-place prize for his first PGT win of 2022.
