2018 Poker Masters Purple Jacket Rankings
Level 4
: 1,000/1,500, 2,000 ante
With only the $100,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event remaining on the schedule, there are only five players still in contention for the Purple Jacket. Ali Imsirovic has made himself the front runner after back-to-back wins in Event #5 and Event #6. Brandon Adams is still in second place after his hot start to the series and Isaac Haxton rounds out the top three. Jake Schindler and Ben Yu are the only other two players that can catch Imsirovic so look for them to take part in the Main Event.
