PGT Announces 2026 Winter Schedule With ARIA Points Boost and Five Dream Seats
Four stops remain in the race to qualify for the PokerGO Tour (PGT) Championship. The remaining schedule includes higher points at the ARIA High Roller Series, 20 qualifying events across WSOP Paradise and the WPT World Championship, and five Dream Seats available through PGT Last Chance.
The $500,000 PGT Championship freeroll will take place January 11–12, 2027, at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas.
PGT Last Chance Offers Five Dream Seats
PGT Last Chance runs January 4–9, 2027, at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. The series features six $10,500 No-Limit Hold'em tournaments, with one event scheduled each day. The final tournament on January 9 will be completed in a single day.
Five Dream Seats will go to the highest-ranked players on the Last Chance series leaderboard who have not already qualified for the PGT Championship.
Players can also earn a Dream Seat without having competed in any PGT event earlier in the season.
ARIA High Roller Series Increases PGT Points
The PGT ARIA High Roller Series takes place November 28 through December 2, 2026, at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas.
Five single-day $5,300 No-Limit Hold'em tournaments are scheduled, one each day.
All five events will award 0.002 PGT points for every dollar in prize money earned, compared with the standard rate of 0.0015 at this buy-in level.
