PokerGO Cup Schedule: January 11-20

The PokerGO Cup will kick off the 2023 PokerGO Tour (PGT) season, with eight events being held inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, from January 11-20.

The eight-event schedule will be entirely No-Limit Hold’em events with buy-ins ranging from $10,000 to the marquee $50,000 buy-in finale. The first seven events will be a double reentry, while the $50,000 finale will be a single reentry. Players in the registration line by 12 p.m. PT will qualify for a rake-free entry. Levels will be 40 minutes long, with a 10-minute break every two levels. The 30-second shot clock will be in play during the PokerGO Cup, with players beginning with six 30-second time extensions. The $50,000 finale will start at 2 p.m. PT and feature 45-minute levels while registration is open, and once closed, levels will be increased to 60 minutes.

All tournaments are part of the 2023 PGT season, with players earning points based on the amount they cash for. The points awarded during the PokerGO Cup will also decide who wins the PokerGO Cup and $50,000 in added prize money.

Who Will Win the PokerGO Cup

Daniel Negreanu won the inaugural 2021 PokerGO Cup on the back of winning Event #7 and cashing an additional three times. Negreanu accumulated $996,200 in PokerGO Cup winnings and earned 537 PGT points on his way to being crowned the PokerGO Cup Champion. Jeremy Ausmus won the 2022 PokerGO Cup after winning Event #4 and cashing three additional times. Ausmus earned $824,500 in PokerGO Cup winnings and accumulated 658 PGT points to be crowned the 2022 PokerGO Cup champion. 

Negreanu and Ausmus are favorites to repeat as champion in 2023, while the likes of Sean Winter, Sam Soverel, Cary Katz, and 2022 PGT Champion Stephen Chidwick are also strong candidates to contest for the 2023 PokerGO Cup.
