The Top 5 Players in PokerGO Tour History

To celebrate this ourselves, we’ve looked at the top five players from PokerGO Tour history, with the most financial results coupled with other metrics such as the most final tables, cashes and titles. Let’s find out who is top dog on the PGT…

5. Jeremy Ausmus

It’s impossible to look at the five most successful players on the PokerGO Tour without considering Jeremy Ausmus. The hugely popular poker professional and family man endeared himself into the hearts of poker players and fans around the world when he penned and recorded the hit* poker song Hey, Mighty Poker Gods. Now, years later, Jeremy Ausmus has proven himself to be a poker legend and never more so than live on PokerGO.

With eight outright PGT victories, Ausmus has totalled a phenomenal 9,051 PGT Points. The PGT Points system is quite simple; every point represents $1,000 won at the purple felt. That means Ausmus, who has taken home over $28.2 million in lifetime earnings, has won a third of that money in PGT events. Given the level of his opponents in those events and the short-field nature of the events and cutthroat podium place competition, Ausmus is an end boss.

4. Daniel Negreanu

It goes without saying that Daniel Negreanu is a poker legend. The seven-time WSOP bracelet winner and Poker Hall of Famer has been one of the most successful poker players of all time and if you factor in brand partnerships and ambassadorial positions and the money they provide, you can remove the words ‘one of’.

So how much of a PGT conqueror is ‘Kid Poker’? Well, with 11 outright wins, including one in the Super High Roller Bowl for $3.3 million, Canada’s most successful poker export is right up there. With over $8.65 million in PokerGO Cashes alone, Negreanu’s record inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA on the Las Vegas Strip is very, very good. In fact, only three men can boast of bettering him in the arena.

This is one of the best calls Negreanu has ever made inside the PokerGO Studio, and it led to him winning big money again.

3. Stephen Chidwick

The best tournament poker player ever to emerge from Great Britain is not a member of The Hendon Mob, it’s not Sam Trickett, it’s not Dave ‘DevilFish’ Ulliott. No, the greatest is a player now closing in on the top spot in the All-Time Money List. Kent-born Stephen Chidwick has won over $76 million in live poker earnings and while he recently admitted that likely translated to around $10 million in real-world money, his success speaks for itself.

Over the five years of the PokerGO Tour, Chidwick’s ability to win big in Las Vegas has been second to very few. Going into the 2025 PGT season, Stephen Chidwick led in terms of PGT titles with 10. Chidwick added two more in the past 12 months, putting his innings in PGT events to over $10m, but incredibly was overtaken by two players, the two above him on this list. With 18 podium finishes outside of top spot, the British powerhouse will be a fixture deep in events all year as he looks to wrestle back his crown.

2. Sam Soverel

Deciding between the top two players is the devil’s own task but we’ve snatched the win away from the player with the most outright wins in PGT history. It’s so close between Sam Soverel and the player above him that we’ve gone against one of PokerGO’s favorite sons.

With 13 outright wins, no-one has more PGT trophies than Soverel, yet he finds himself stuck on 9,802 PGT Points, good for $9.8 million in winnings but in third place overall in that metric. Cashing for the 100^th time on the PGT during his triumphant NAPT Las Vegas series, Soverel’s four titles in 2025 were the most of anyone.

1. Alex Foxen

At the top of the list, it’s the peerless Alex Foxen. Sitting on 12 outright wins, the former multiple-time Global Poker Index world number one is the reigning 2025 PokerGO Tour Player of the Year. Foxen won five titles in 2025, boosting him up the leaderboard and past other poker legends. Part of his unique appeal as a player is his ability to bluff opponents off great hands at crucial moments in play, such as this example where he forced Aram Oganyan to fold the best hand – a straight, no less! – despite only having ace-high.

With 16 runner-up finishes – one fewer than Soverel, the margins are super-thin, but Foxen has more PGT Points than any other player in the list at 10,530, a slim lead from Stephen Chidwick’s 10,425. With more cashes (108) and final table appearances (77) than any other player, along with having won the most money, we’re giving this title to Alex Foxen too.

Over the first five years of competition, the player pools and prize pools have grown, with 125,412 total entries over that period creating prize pools of over $1.8 billion! A total of 732 qualifying events contributed to our scores for the most talented five players in PGT history… so far.
