Myles Mullaly ouvre les Poker Masters avec un titre à 218.400 $, Nick Palma enchaine en battant Adrián Mateos pour 235.200 $ : deux premiers sacres et deux prétendants lancés dans la course à la veste violette !

Myles Mullaly wins the opener, Nick Palma defeats Adrián Mateos: two players claim their first PGT titles and establish themselves in the race for the Purple Jacket. In Las Vegas, the Poker Masters already has its early frontrunners.

Myles Mullaly: First Winner, First Leader


The $10,500 opener attracted 78 entries, generating a $780,000 prize pool with twelve places paid. Second in chips behind Michael Rossitto when play resumed, Myles Mullaly converted that position into a $218,400 victory.

His heads-up against Justin Zaki was far from straightforward. After briefly falling behind, Mullaly regained the lead and closed out the tournament. Zaki finished second for $140,400, ahead of Sam Laskowitz, third for $101,400.

Nick Palma Defeats Mateos to Claim His First Title


Event #2 raised the stakes with 84 entries and $840,000 up for grabs, again at a $10,500 buy-in.

With five players remaining, Adrián Mateos led ahead of Nick Palma. Alongside them, Michael Berk, David Coleman and Nick Seward completed a particularly tough final-day lineup.

Palma emerged victorious after a lengthy battle, defeating Mateos heads-up. The Spaniard challenged him for control of the duel but ultimately had to settle for second: $235,200 went to the champion and $151,200 to the runner-up. Berk rounded out the podium, while Coleman, fourth, collected points in his defence of the Poker Masters title.

Victory Starts the Race, Consistency Will Make the Difference


Following his opening victory with tenth place in the second tournament, Mullaly retains the overall lead ahead of Palma. Laskowitz and Berk, who have also cashed in both events, are building momentum of their own.

The festival continues through October 23, with ten tournaments to determine who will claim the Purple Jacket and a $25,000 PGT Passport. The first trophies have been awarded; the battle for the overall title is only just beginning.
