The final seven players will return to the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas today to play down to a champion in Event #9: $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em at the 2026 PokerGO Cup. From a starting field of 70 entries, just seven contenders remain with their sights set on the $210,000 top prize and another PokerGO Cup trophy.
All remaining players have locked up $28,000, but significant pay jumps await as the tournament reaches its conclusion.

| 5 | $52,500 |

Benjamin Grise will return as the chip leader, giving him a strong opportunity to finish the job after already coming close to a title yesterday when he finished runner-up in Event #8. Grise will lead the remaining players into Day 2 as he looks to turn another deep run into a victory.
Among those still in contention are Aram Zobian, Sean Winter, Jeremy Ausmus, and Brandon Wilson, Justin Zaki and Myles Mullaly who will attempt to chase down the chip leader when play resumes.
