Last year’s winners
In Las Vegas, at the PokerGO studio in ARIA, the first tournament of the PokerGO Cup 2022, Event #1: $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em, has concluded.
After a fierce heads-up battle against Andrew Lichtenberger, the title was claimed by Daniel Kolpoys. Emerging as the best among 77 participants, the American took home the main prize of $200,200. Lichtenberger, who finished in second place, earned $146,300.
It’s worth noting that the PokerGO Cup is part of the larger PokerGO Tour series, at the end of which the overall champion is determined. Last year, the title went to Daniel Negreanu, who didn’t manage to secure a spot in the prizes for the first tournament.
