The PokerGO Cup series, which takes place at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas, is slowly coming to an end, but we have yet to recognize two winners. In our previous articles, we have already informed you about Michael Moncek's win, who met Joey Weissman in the first two heads-ups. Joey subsequently won tournament number 2 and played third heads-up as well, making his way to the top of the leaderboard.
We also let you know about Eric Blair's win, for whom it was the first PGT title of his career, and he only had to wait a few days for the second one. Tournament number 6 had a buy-in of $15,100 and produced 87 entries with a prizepool of $1,305,000. A $352,350 prize awaited the winner.
Christian Roberts entered the final table as the chipleader, but he was unable to parlay that advantage into a runner-up finish, finishing in 4th place. Eric Blair started with the second smallest stack, but gradually made his way to the top and managed to take down his last opponent in the final heads-up. After winning tournament #4, Eric Blair became the champion of tournament #6, winning 2 PGT tournaments in 3 days.

Kristen Foxen with her second title of the year
Let's move on to tournament number 7, which also had a buy-in of $15,100 and produced 86 entries with a prizepool of $1,290,000. A sum of $348,300 awaited the winner, which was contested by many familiar names.
WSOP Hall of Fame member Erik Seidel was the chipleader of the final table here, along with names like David Peters, Sergio Aido, Patrick Leonard, Farid Jattin and Kristen Foxen.
Although Kristen made the final table with the second-smallest stack, it didn't stop her from becoming chipleader a few hands later, and after eliminating David Peters in 6th place, she already held more than 60 percent of all the chips in play. Kristen then knocked out both Sergio Aido in 5th place and Farid Jattin in 3rd place, and made it to heads-up play against Patrick Leonard, where she already had over 80 percent of all the chips.
Kristen Foxen also took down Leonard in the end to take home the full $348,300 for the winner, making it her second PGT title in a month. The first one came in late January when she dominated the last tournament of the PGT Kickoff Series. Kristen is currently at the top of the PGT Player of the Year leaderboard with a whopping 857 points.
