PokerGO is upping the ante for the 2023 PokerGO Tour (PGT) Championship, with the tournament now carrying a massive prize pool of $1 million. That’s double the figure won by Jason Koon during the 2022 season. 

2023 PGT Championship

The 2023 PGT Championship will see more players competing for the $1 million pot, as the top 40 players on the PGT leaderboard will earn automatic entry into the event. PokerGO will also be awarding extra seats into the tournament via special events throughout the year. In the previous campaign, the PGT Championship was only open to the top 21 players.

To qualify for the $1M PGT Championship freeroll, all you need to do is to earn enough points to make it to the top 40 of the leaderboard. You may also win your way into the tournament via special promotions that will be hosted by PokerGO.

New Events for 2023

The 2023 season of the PGT officially kicks off with the PokerGO Cup on January 11. Two of the most popular events on the tour, the US Poker Open and Poker Masters also return this year, with new events also added to the line-up, such as the PGT Mixed Games which takes place in February.
