Nick Schulman shone in the last tournament of the PokerGO Tour Last Chance series, defeating Chino Rheem heads-up. Schulman, with his four WSOP bracelets and more than $18 million in winnings, once again showed why he is considered one of the world's greatest poker players. On the other hand, Rheem, a three-time WPT champion with $15 million in earnings, won the most money.
After hours of intense competition, the two decided to make a deal for ICM and continued fighting for the title. Ultimately, Schulman was the overall winner, taking home the trophy and a prize of $161,500. Rheem, despite officially finishing as runner-up, walked away with $170,300.
Event #6 of the PGT Last Chance had 79 entries, a $10,100 buy-in, and a $790,000 prize pool.
