Michael Berk Secures Second PokerGO Tour Title of 2026 with Victory Over Landon Tice

Michael Berk continues to build his case as one of the breakout tournament players of 2026. Just over a week into March, the Indiana native took down event no. 5 of the 2026 PokerGO Cup, earning $207,000 and his second $10,000 buy-in PGT title of the year. Berk defeated Landon Tice heads-up to secure the victory, denying Tice a second PGT title of his own.

Along with his first-place payday, Berk was also awarded 360 Card Player Player of the Year points, pushing him up into the top 100 in the yearlong leaderboard presented by CoinPoker. This is the third-largest live result of Berk’s career. In January, Berk emerged victorious in event no. 5 of the PGT Kickoff series at the PokerGO Studio for a career-best $262,650. He also finished 42nd in the 2023 World Series of Poker main event, earning $229,000. He now boasts lifetime earnings of nearly $2.9 million.

Berk opened up a considerable chip lead three-handed, and then used that stack to apply maximum pressure. On the final hand, Berk tabled A♠4♠ for trip fours to claim the pot and the title.
