Brandon Wilson and David Coleman went heads-up in the 2025 Poker Masters series finale at PokerGO Studio last fall, and both came out victorious.

Wilson took down the $25,200 No-Limit Hold'em tournament, the 10th and final event of the series, for $464,000 via a heads-up chop. The runner-up claimed the coveted Purple Jacket, awarded to the overall winner at the Poker Masters, along with $355,000.

Day 2 featured some brutal bad beats, most notably a devastating one that cost PokerStars ambassador Jason Koon a chance to win.
