LAS VEGAS, Jan. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Jeremy Ausmus, the 2024 PokerGO Tour® (PGT®) Player of the Year, capped off his extraordinary season by capturing the PGT $1,000,000 Championship title, earning an impressive $500,000 first-place prize.

Ausmus entered the event as the 2024 PGT Player of the Year, a title that capped off a season of consistent excellence across the world's toughest poker tournaments. Ausmus finished the PGT regular season with 2,966 points from 26 cashes. Entering the season-ending event, Ausmus had won $5,991,016 in prize money from PGT-qualifying events. His performance in the $1,000,000 Championship underscored his dominance and served as a fitting conclusion to his outstanding year on the felt.

The PGT $1,000,000 Championship, held at the PokerGO® Studio in Las Vegas, brought together 40 of the top-ranked players from the tour's leaderboard and a select group of 10 Dream Seat winners. Ausmus entered the final table as the shortest stack with six players remaining. He found himself as a towering chip leader during three-handed play and never looked back from there. On the final hand, Ausmus correctly picked off a bold all-in river bluff from Nick Schulman to secure first-place honors.
