Two Satellite Winners Go Heads-Up for First 2024 Poker Masters Title
The 2024 Poker Masters Presented by PokerStars NAPT is underway at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas, and the first event — $5,100 No-Limit Hold’em — came down to a pair of satellite entries on Wednesday.
Spencer Champlin and Jessica Vierling battled it out for the title, and the former came out victorious. Both players gained entry into the mid-stakes poker tournament via a $560 buy-in satellite at Aria.
Poker Masters Event #1 Final Table Results
| Place | Player | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Spencer Champlin | $160,475 |
| 2 | Jessica Vierling | $98,250 |
| 3 | Dylan Linde | $72,050 |
| 4 | Dan Shak | $52,400 |
| 5 | Zachary Grech | $39,300 |
| 6 | Nicholas Seward | $32,750 |
Vierling Nearly Does it Again
Vierling, a German-born poker pro who resides in Las Vegas, took down the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) Main Event at Commerce Casino in May for a career-best $328,273 score. She nearly scored another huge victory to kickoff the Poker Masters, but had to settle for second place and $98,250.
Champlin, on the other hand, cracked the $3 million lifetime mark in live poker tournaments, according to The Hendon Mob, by winning Event #1 for $160,475, beating out a 131-entrant field. Dylan Linde took third place for $72,050, Dan Shak finished in fourth place for $52,400, Zachary Grech claimed fifth place for $39,300, while Nicholas Seward rounded out the final table in sixth place for $32,750.
But the big story in this tournament is that it all came down to a couple of satellite winners, something that rarely occurs in PokerGO Tour events that feature some of the best poker players in the world. Vierling now has over $1.2 million in lifetime live tournament cashes, and she’s having quite a year on the tournament circuit with nearly $540,000 in results, nearly doubling her pre-2024 career results.
The Poker Masters features eight no-limit hold’em tournaments ranging from $5,100 to the series finale $25,200 buy-in event on Sept. 18. Stephen Chidwick, who claimed the coveted Purple Jacket last year, is the defending series champion.
Event #2: $10,100 No-Limit Hold’em kicked off Wednesday and will play down to a winner on Thursday. Six players remain, including Jeremy Becker and Dan Sepiol, the top two chip stacks heading into the final table.

Each deck contains four suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades) and consists of 13 ranks (Ace, 2 through 10, and the face cards: Jack, Queen, and King). However, it’s important to note that the number of decks used in poker can vary depending on the specific game or variation being played.

In such cases, it is common to use two or more decks that are shuffled together.
