In the penultimate event of the PokerGo Cup series, Event #7: $15,100 No-Limit Hold’em, it was David Peters who stole the show, surviving a marathon three-handed session against Brock Wilson and Kristen Foxen, and eventually clinching his second title of the 2024 PokerGO Cup and the $315,000.
The final day saw three quick eliminations with Morten Klein’s A-J falling to Brock Wilson’s pocket queens in sixth place for $57,750. Seth Davies’s 5-4 then lost to Daniel Smiljkovic’s 10-9 and he was busted in fifth place for $78,750. Up next, Smiljkovic’s A-Q could not beat Wilson’s pocket fours and the German went out in fourth place for $105,000.
During the three-handed play, the chips began to fly back and forth. Wilson started with the chip lead but quickly lost it to Foxen. Two hands later, Foxen saw her chip lead go to Peters. She had come down to just over 20 big blinds but then she doubled through Brock Wilson with her jacks prevailing against Wilson’s pocket nines. The Canadian poker pro continued her double streak, scoring another double with her pocket tens surviving against Peter’s A-Q. However, her momentum was short-lived as Peters regained the chip lead and further extended it by eliminating Wilson in third for $141,750.
Heads-up play was a short-live affair. It did not take long for Peters to seal the victory. On the final hand, he held A-4 and flopped a pair of aces against Foxen’s J-10. Foxen needed runner-runner to survive. However, the turn bricked and she headed to the cage to collect the $204,750 second-place prize.

David Coleman Stages A Remarkable Comeback To Win Event #6: $15,100 No-Limit Hold’em
David Coleman etched his name as the sixth champion in the PokerGo Cup 2024, beating a field of 63 entries in Event #6: $15,100 No-Limit Hold’em. His stack dwindled to just 2 BB during the four-handed play, but the New Jersey native staged an impressive comeback. He doubled four consecutive times, securing the title and $302,400 top prize. This marked his third PTG title in 2024, propelling him to the top of the 2024 PokerGo Cup leaderboard race.
The momentum shifted during the four-handed play with Seth Davies doubling through DeStefano and then taking a major chunk of Coleman’s stack to drop him to just two-big blinds. However, Coleman bounced back, scoring three consecutive doubles. The first double up took him to 8 big blinds when he turned a flush with 8-7 against DeStefano’s A-9. In his penultimate double, he shoved with K-9 and ran into DeStefano’s pocket kings. The board gave him a straight to crack kings and win the pot. His double stream continued. He moved all-in after Brinkenhoff’s flop bet. Brinkenhoff mucked his cards and Coleman got his third double up during the four-handed play.
A hand later, Brinkenhoff was eliminated when he shoved his last 7 big blinds with J-8 against DeStefano’s A-K. Brinkenhoff flopped a pair of jacks, but the board ran out a wheel, busting him in fourth place for $94,500. On the next hand, Davies shoved his last 12 big blinds with K-J and Coleman called with A-4. Again, the board ran out a wheel and Davies exited in third place for $132,300.
Heads-Up
The heads-up began with DeStefano holding 4,100,000 to Coleman’s 3,775,000. It didn’t take long for Coleman to edge into the lead on the very first hand. He then won a hand with pocket aces. Finally, it was all over with DeStefano moving all-in with 6-5 against Coleman’s Jd-4d. Coleman hit flush on the turn, locking up the coveted pot and title. DeStefano was awarded $189,000 as the runner-up finisher.
Featuring a buy-in of $15,100, Event #6 saw a prize pool of $945,000. The top 9 won money with a min-cash of $28,350. Nick Schulman (9th) and Sam Soverel (8th) cashed before the final table began.
