Poker Masters 2025: schedule and features of the series
This fall, the fifth stage of the Poker Masters 2025 series will take place at the legendary ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, which will bring together the strongest professionals from all over the world. The program includes 10 tournaments with high buy-ins, and the main innovation will be the first tournament in the history of the series with a guaranteed prize pool of $1,000,000.
What's new in the fifth stage of Poker Masters?
The next stage of Poker Masters will be held from September 19 to October 2 at the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino. Over the course of two weeks, players will be treated to ten Texas Hold'em tournaments with buy-ins from $5,100 to $25,200.
The main innovation is the starting Showcase event for $5,100 with a $1,000,000 guarantee. This will be the first guarantee in the history of Poker Masters.
For comparison: last year, a similar tournament with the same buy-in attracted 131 entries and a prize pool of $655,000. In 2025, the event will have two starting days, the opportunity to make up to two re-entries and a separate satellite for $560.

The organizers paid special attention to the time bank so that the tournaments were dynamic and at the same time the players had enough time to make decisions. Preflop has 20 seconds, postflop — 30. Additional time bank cards are distributed depending on the tournament level: the higher the buy-in, the more of them. For example, in the final $25K event, players will receive 10 cards before the break and 8 after.
At the end of the series, the player with the most points will become the owner of the legendary purple jacket and a $25,000 bonus in the PGT Passport format. These points will also help qualify for the final PGT Championship with a buy-in of $1,000,000 and a guarantee of $500,000 to the winner.
All tournaments will be broadcast on the PokerGO channel.
