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.
Action was picked up on the flop in a single raised pot between Jeremy Ausmus on the button and Nick Schulman in the big blind with the board showing 8♦7♦K♠.
Schulman checked to Ausmus, who bet out 7,000. Schulman then decided to raise to 20,000, and Ausmus called.
The turn was the 10♥, and Schulman used a time extension, before moving all in for his stack of 87,500. Ausmus started shaking his head and muck his hand to give Schulman the pot.

Dan Smith opened to 8,000 from the cutoff, and it folded to Michael Berk in the small blind who three-bet to 35,000. It folded back to Smith, who took some time before going all in for 157,500, and Berk snap called to put Smith at risk.
Dan Smith: Q♠Q♥
Michael Berk: A♠A♦
It was a cooler for Smith, and the J♦2♦8♥ flop brought no help for him. But, the Q♦ on the turn put Smith in the lead with his set, but Berk did pick up the nut flush draw.
However, the J♠ river was safe, and Smith's full house was enough to crack the aces of Berk, giving Smith a double up.
