Vegas Pro Leads Series Leaderboard After Winning Two Titles in the Same Week
LAS VEGAS — Brock Wilson is running the 2026 PokerGO Cup. The Las Vegas-based high-stakes pro claimed his second title of the series, storming back from a seven-to-one heads-up chip deficit against Shannon Shorr to win Event #6: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em and $210,000.
The win marks Wilson's fourth career PokerGO title. He had already taken down Event #4: $5,000 NLH earlier in the week for $112,720, and a small cash in Event #5 pushed his 2026 PokerGO Cup total to $253,420, putting him at the top of the series leaderboard.
The field drew 70 runners and generated a $700,000 prize pool. Six players returned for Day 2 following the late elimination of Brandon Wilson in seventh place ($28,000).
A Comeback That Rewrote the Final Table Story
Play moved quickly once Day 2 got underway. Qinghai Pan, known around the felt as The Fisherman, hit the rail in sixth ($38,500) when his pocket jacks ran into Wilson's ace-king. Wilson kept rolling, eliminating both Darren Elias (5th, $52,500) and Nicholas Seward (4th, $70,000) to take a commanding three-handed chip lead.
Then Shorr shifted the entire dynamic. The three-time bracelet winner surged through three-handed play, sending Chris Hunichen to the rail in third ($94,500) and arriving at heads-up with a seven-to-one chip advantage.
It didn't last. Wilson chipped away steadily until Shorr was reduced to a single big blind. Shorr fought through several doubles but ultimately could not extend his run, and Wilson closed it out for his second title of the week. Shorr collected $136,500 as runner-up.
No Time to Celebrate
Wilson skipped the winner's photo and was at the Event #7 table before late registration closed. He briefly shared his thoughts on the week before taking his seat.
"I play in these events a lot and I really enjoy them, and it's cool sort of when everything comes together and works out great," Wilson said. "I got heads-up against two friends, Shannon and David Coleman, it was really cool to beat them both on a big stage."
He was not alone in moving straight on. Elias, Pan, and Shorr all jumped into Event #7 shortly after collecting their payouts.
