Jeremy Druckman conquers 2026 PGT PLO Series $10K Main Event in Vegas

Jeremy Druckman has taken down the 2026 PGT PLO Series $10,000 Main Event at the Venetian. The tournament drew 57 entries, with Druckman dominating the final table to claim the title. His path included key eliminations and a commanding chip lead throughout the decisive stages. Druckman entered the Main Event inside the Top Ten and seized the chip lead by Day 2. His momentum carried into the final table, where he held a substantial advantage with 5.35 million chips.

He systematically reduced the field, first eliminating Zachary Schwartz in fourth place with a rivered flush. Next, he dispatched LaDarren Banks in fifth, winning with a double-suited A-J-J-6. Philip Shing fell in third when his A-Q-10-3 lost to Druckman's A-Q-J-6. Heads-up play saw Druckman face Isaac Kempton. The final hand ended swiftly when Druckman flopped a straight to secure the championship. Despite Druckman's victory, David 'Chino' Rheem claimed the overall PGT PLO Series championship under a rule-based tiebreaker. Looking ahead, the WSOP Europe 2026 will run from March 31 to April 12 at the Hilton Prague, hosted in partnership with King's Casino Prague.

Druckman's win adds another high-stakes title to his record. The $10,000 Main Event concluded with a clear display of his skill in Pot-Limit Omaha. Meanwhile, the poker calendar now turns to the upcoming WSOP Europe in Prague.
