Andrew 'LuckyChewy' Lichtenberger wrapped up his ninth PGT title and Brock Wilson coasted to the PokerGO Cup series leaderboard win on a rare Sunday at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas.
Wilson needed to survive the bubble on Day 1 of the $15K finale of the PGT Major, and he would go on to a final table appearance and sixth-place finish for good measure. The final results added to two other wins for Wilson during the 10-event series, but Sunday's finish pushed him over the top of Filipp Khavin, who also had two wins during the series.

Meanwhile, Lichtenberger is back on track for a big 2026 after he struck out in all nine of the previous PokerGO Cup events. It's a quick up-and-down rebound after the year started with a second-place finish in the PGT Championship before his eighth PGT title during the tour's kickoff series.
Lichtenberger defeated Sam Soverel after the two dealt with Day 2 chip leader Art Peacock. Peacock would parlay that chip lead into a third-place finish, ahead of 2015 WSOP Main Event champion Joe McKeehen and fifth-place finisher John Krpan. Wilson and Joey Weissman rounded out the final table.
