Jeremy Becker had already amassed over $1.5 million in career tournament earnings across more than 234 in-the-money finishes. The rising poker talent, who first gained attention with a streak of victories in nightly Las Vegas events in early 2023, claimed his first six-figure win at the 2024 Poker Masters. Becker triumphed in event no. 2, a $10,100 buy-in no-limit hold’em tournament.
Jeremy Becker outlasted a field of 100 entries to win $255,000 and his first PokerGO Tour title, marking the largest score of his career and boosting his lifetime earnings to more than $1.8 million. Additionally, Becker earned 255 PokerGO Tour points, moving him into 80th place on the high-stakes leaderboard.
The two-day event took place at the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, generating a $1,000,000 prize pool that paid out to the top 15 finishers. Notable cashes included bracelet winners Chris Hunichen (14th), Andrew Lichtenberger (11th), and Dan Smith (10th). Event no. 1 champion Spencer Champlin finished ninth, while World Poker Tour champion and five-time bracelet winner Nick Schulman claimed eighth. Day 1 concluded with the elimination of WPT champion and bracelet winner Dylan Linde in seventh.
Jeremy Becker started Day 2 as the chip leader, with bracelet winner and 2023 WPT World Champion Daniel Sepiol close behind. Ren Lin was the first to be eliminated, with his A-7 falling to Sepiol’s pocket kings. Lin earned $50,000 for his 12th final-table finish of the year, putting him 15th on the 2024 POY leaderboard.
Bracelet winner Nicholas Seward, coming off a sixth-place finish in event no. 1, finished fifth after his A-8 suited lost to two-time bracelet winner Michael ‘Texas Mike’ Moncek’s A-9. Seward flopped an eight, but Moncek hit trips with a pair of nines on the turn and river. Seward took home $65,000.
Sepiol’s tournament run ended in fourth place when his Q♥9♥ was outdrawn by Moncek’s 6♠6♥, which made a straight on the turn. Sepiol added $90,000 to his career earnings, which now approach $9 million.
The next key hand saw Moncek raise from the button with K♠9♠, only to be three-bet by Sean Winter in the big blind with K♥K♦. Moncek responded with an all-in shove, and Winter snap-called. The board ran out Q♣J♥10♣5♦8♠, giving Moncek a straight to crack Winter’s kings. Winter, who finished third, collected $115,000, increasing his lifetime tournament earnings to nearly $31.7 million.
Despite starting heads-up play with a 4:1 chip lead, Moncek lost ground as Becker scored several key double-ups. Becker eventually gained control by calling a major bluff with king-high to take the lead. In the final hand, Moncek moved all-in from the button with A♥7♥, and Becker called with Q♠10♥. The board came 6♣3♠2♣10♦3♦, giving Becker tens and threes to seal the victory. Moncek earned $165,000 as the runner-up, bringing his career earnings to approximately $2.6 million.
