Negreanu's fourth-place finish in Event #8 was enough to pass by Imsirovic to be crowned the festival champion. Ali Imsirovic held the lead after winning Event #2 and Event #4 with Negreanu coming into the picture after winning Event #7. Meanwhile, GGPoker Ambassador Daniel Negreanu seemingly came out of nowhere to win the inaugural PokerGO Cup series title. I doubled up the first hand and it was smooth sailing from there.'

I feel very fortunate because I came in second to last in chips. I think it’s the first $100K of the year. 'It means over a million dollars,' Katz said of what the win means to him to PokerGO. Last night's victory was obviously much bigger, a fact not lost on Katz. This was the second big win of the year for Katz on the PokerGO Tour after previously winning the 2021 ARIA High Roller Series Event #2: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em for $82,800. PokerGO founder Cary Katz won the final and largest event of the PokerGO Cup by navigating through a star-studded field of 23-entries in the PokerGO Cup Event #8: $100,000 No-Limit Hold'em to win the $1,058,000 top prize at the PokerGO Studio at the ARIA Resort & Casino.
