The 2024 Poker Masters Presented by PokerStars NAPT continues on this week inside the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas after several players picked up trophies and seven-figure scores during the first half of the series.

The series kicked off with two qualifiers battling it out in Event #1: $5,100 No-Limit Hold'em as Spencer Champlin came out on top for $160,475.. Later winners in the series included rising prodigy Jeremy Becker and poker coach Jonathan Little, who continued his PokerGO Studio domination with his third PGT title of the year.

Jeremy Becker Breaks Through With First Six-Figure Score

The second event of the series, a $10,100 No-Limit Hold'em event, drew 100 entrants for a prize pool of $1 million. The final table included PokerGO Studio regulars like Ren Lin and Sean Winter, but it was rising stars Becker and Michael Moncek who played heads-up for the trophy and $255,000.

Becker, who is known as a daily crusher but has moved up in stakes thanks to support from players like Daniel Negreanu (who was in the studio cheering on Becker), defeated "Texas Mike" for the biggest score of his career.

Becker, who rose to poker fame by winning eight tournaments in a single month and taking on a high-profile crossbook against Landon Tice earlier this year, never had a six-figure score despite having $2 million in earnings and logging dozens of wins, making it a landmark victory for the rising prodigy.
