Jeremy Becker Levels Up By Taking Down Poker Masters Title

Jeremy Becker took home a new career-high cash of $255,000 after winning Event #2 of the 2024 Poker Masters.

Las Vegas tournament pro Jeremy Beckerā€˜s poker career took a giant step forward on Thursday afternoon after he won Event #2 of PokerGOā€™s 2024 Poker Masters ā€“ a $10,000 buy-in No Limit Holdā€™em event ā€“ for a new career-high score of $255,000.

For Becker, the performance underscores a number of new career firsts and milestones. Itā€™s his first victory in a $10K, his first win in the PokerGO Studio, and first career six-figure score. The first-place prize is more than three times his previous high score of $76,185 (for a 2nd place in a $2,200 buy-in side event during the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown festival in April), and it also jettisoned him over $2 million in lifetime earnings as well according to The Hendon Mob.

Becker entered the final table on Thursday as the chip leader, with a final six dominated by some of the young up-and-coming modern crushers of today including reigning WPT World Champion Dan Sepiol, back-to-back Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open event winner Nick Seward, and two-time WSOP bracelet winner and high-stakes cash game VPIP machine ā€˜Texas Mikeā€™ Moncek. They were joined by a pair of high roller veterans in WPT Alpha8 champ Ren Lin and 2022 Poker Masters overall winner Sean Winter.

In the end, Becker found himself heads-up against ā€˜Texas Mikeā€™ and at a 5-to-1 chip deficit. But he doubled through, battled back, and outlasted Moncek for his first Poker Masters single event trophy and a new top-of-resume signature result.

As Becker himself noted online, it must have been the boost he was looking for. Although he ended up ultimately winning his much-hyped summer crossbook bet with Landon Tice by just over $70,000 ā€“ he did end up losing more than $17,000 over the summer. Certainly, his 10th place finish in Augustā€™s $5,300 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship Event for $63,000 helped, but this more than a-quarter-million score by Becker is a statement win by Daniel Negreanuā€™s protege perhaps proving that the public interest he received by winning an incredible amount of daily tournaments at the Wynn in 2023 was well deserved.

PokerGOā€™s 2024 Poker Masters runs through September 19th and includes five $10K events, a pair of $15K tournaments, and a $25K Main Event with leaderboard points awarded along the way. The player at the top of that leaderboard when all is said and done will earn a $25,000 PokerGO Tour passport, a PokerStars NAPT Golden Pass and become the ninth player awarded a Poker Masters Purple Jacket. In the opening tournament of the festival, a $5K No Limit Holdā€™em event, Spencer Champlin defeated Jessica Vierling to win $160,475, after both he and Vierling satellited into the tournament for just $560 each.
