Maxx Coleman Wins Poker Masters 8-Game Title for $120,000

Maxx Coleman won event 6 of the 2021 Poker Masters Series, securing the 8-game title and $120,000. There were 30 entries to the $10k buy-in 8-game tournament. Daniel Negreanu was looking to go back-to-back having won the previous event, putting him on top of the race to the purple Jacket leaderboard. Only five players cashed, with the following hand bursting the money bubble: Coleman: K♦ K♥ Rotholz: 7♦ 7♠ Flop: J♠ 2♣ 6♣ Turn: 5♠ River: 2♦ ♠ ♣ ♥ ♦.

Five players returned for the final table on day 2 at the PokerGO studios in the Aria, including Jeremy Ausmus, Chad Eveslage, Stephen Chidwick, Erik “King of Ding” Sagstrom, and Maxx Coleman. Coleman caught his opponent in a hand of Razz, his 9-8-3 low beating Eveslage’s 9-8-5 to secure the trophy. Maxx Coleman told PokerGO reporters afterwards: “It feels good. This is I think my fourth final table in five events [here at the PokerGO Studio], so to finally get the win feels pretty good.”

Daniel Negreanu still sits atop the overall leaderboard at the halfway point of the series.
