Event #2: $10,500 NLH | 2026 Poker Masters

The 2026 Poker Masters continues at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas, with Event #2: $10,500 No-Limit Hold'em getting underway at noon local time on Tuesday.

Another field of high-stakes regulars is expected for the second tournament of the series, with players starting with 125,000 chips and allowed up to two reentries before late registration closes at the start of Level 9.

Levels will be 30 minutes long through Level 12 and then will increase to 40 minutes.

The plan for Day 1 is to play down to the final six players, who will return on Wednesday to battle it out for the title and the second Poker Masters trophy of the series.
