Qinghai Pan has seized the top spot in the 2026 PokerGO Tour Mixed Games series points race heading into the final event of the festival. The three-time World Series of Poker bracelet has podium finishes in three of the four five-figure buy-ins that have concluded so far, capping off that streak with an outright win in event no. 6. Pan defeated a field of 57 entries in that $15,000 dealers choice tournament, earning $273,600 and his second career PGT title.
Pan’s run began with a third-place showing in the $10,000 T.O.R.S.E. event ($107,900) and continued with a runner-up finish in the $10,000 eight-game ($151,200). He’s cashed for a total of $532,700 during the festival, accruing 478 PGT points to take a 131-point lead into event no. 7. He also climbed to 24th in the Card Player Player of the Year race with 1,080 total points across his trio of final tables at this series.
All this success has increased Pan’s career tournament earnings to nearly $2.6 million. This latest win was his second-largest payday yet on the circuit. His $411,051 victory in the 2025 WSOP $10,000 stud eight-or-better championship remains his top score.
Closing Out The Win
The strong turnout for this event built a prize pool of $855,000, with only the top nine finishers earning a share of it. Six-time bracelet winner Jason Mercier (9th – $25,650) and three-time World Poker Tour champion Chino Rheem (8th – $34,200) were the first few to fall after the bubble burst.
Several big names were sent packing early at the final table, including two-time bracelet winner Dylan Weisman (7th – $34,200) and five-time bracelet winner John Monnette (6th – $47,025). Yuri Dzivielevski, fresh off of a win in event no. 5, then eliminated bracelet winner Johannes Becker (5th – $64,125) to narrow the field to four. The Brazilian made a 7-6 low in razz to score the knockout.
Dzivielevski also busted poker’s all-time money leader, Bryn Kenney (4th – $85,500), scooping a pot in Omaha eight-or-better with deuces full of nines to drag the pot. Kenney now has over $81.1 million in career cashes to his name.

Pan knocked out 2025 Super High Roller Bowl Mixed Games champion Chad Eveslage in third place ($119,700) to take a sizable lead into heads-up play with Dzivielevski. Eveslage, a two-time WPT champion and four-time bracelet winner, took down the PGT Championship roughly a month earlier for $500,000. His lifetime earnings are now approaching $12.3 million.
The final hand of the tournament came during a round of stud eight-or-better. The chips went in with a pair of tens and a flush draw for Dzivielevski against two pair, fours and threes, for Pan. Seventh street kept Pan’s hand best to bring the event to a close. Dzivielevski was awarded $171,000 as the runner-up, bringing his series haul to $433,350. His victory in the $15,000 big bet mix was worth $262,350. He is now ranked second in the series standings with 347 PGT points.
