The Poker Masters is a series of high-stakes poker tournaments. Created in 2017, it takes place at ARIA Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and online at partypoker. Final tables are streamed on PokerGO, and the player who accumulates the most points during the series wins the Purple Jacket.[1][2]

The third season was held in November 2019 and had ten events on the schedule.

The 2021 Poker Masters was announced by PokerGO in April 2021 with a 12-event schedule returning to the PokerGO Studio.[17][18] The 2022 Poker Masters was announced by PokerGO in July 2022 with a 12-event schedule but was reduced to 10 events mid-series.[11]

Purple Jacket winners

[edit]

The 2017 Poker Masters awarded the Purple Jacket based on total winnings for the series, but since the 2018 Poker Masters, the Purple Jacket has been awarded based on the points system used by the High Roller of the Year scoring system.[19] For the 2021 Poker Masters, the PokerGO Tour points system was used to decide the Purple Jacket winner.[20] The winner also received a $50,000 championship bonus.[21]
