Jeremy Becker Dominates in Mid-Stakes Bounty Poker Series
Table Of Contents
Winning poker tournaments is nothing new to Las Vegas poker pro Jeremy Becker, who recently finished up a dominating performance in a mid-stakes bounty series at PokerGO Studio.
The grinder known for destroying daily tournaments at Wynn Las Vegas final tabled five of six events in the inaugural PGT Bounty Blitz series. He finished in the top three in 50% of the tournaments offered, winning one.
The unique series featured six no-limit hold'em tournaments, each with a bounty component. There were no multiple event winners, but some of the biggest names in the game claimed titles, including Becker, Sergio Aido, Landon Tice, and Chino Rheem.
Vegas Daily Poker Tournament Grinder Winning on the Big Stage
Becker is no stranger to winning poker tournaments in Las Vegas. He gained notoriety in 2023 after winning eight daily tournaments at Wynn in a month. The local grinder would continue to crush it at the lowest stakes, and then began to have success in bigger tournaments, including at the World Series of Poker (WSOP).
That domination continued last week in the PGT Bounty Blitz. He kicked the series off by winning a $5,100 No-Limit Hold'em Knockout event for $45,600 plus $10,000 in bounties. "Jbex" outlasted a field of 46 players, while beating Qin Zhao heads-up for the title. Josh Arieh (sixth place), Darren Rabinowitz (fifth place), and Andrew Lichtenberger (fourth place) also reached the final table.
Becker again made the final table in Event #2: $5,100 No-Limit Hold'em Escalator, which attracted a field of 48 entrants. He didn't win it this time — Aido did — but he took home another $10,100 plus bounties for sixth place.
The heater, following a rare non-cash in Event #3, continued with a runner-up finish for $28,100 in Event #4: $5,100 No-Limit Hold'em PKO. Rheem took that one down for $28,100 via a heads-up chop before playing it out.
Becker didn't stop there. He'd go on to finish fifth and third place in the final two events for a combined $32,300 plus bounties. The local pro now has over $3.6 million in live tournament cashes, according to The Hendon Mob.
Becker's rise to prominence in poker has been well-documented over the past two years. He's gone from being the top Vegas daily tournament player, crushing $150 buy-in events, to winning on the biggest stage.
