Until the last US Poker Open, which concluded last week, Brazilian Yuri Martins led the PokerGO Tour ranking. He held the top spot largely due to his campaign in the PGT Mixed Games, crowned with the Super High Roller Bowl Mixed title. However, American Brock Wilson stole that position from the Brazilian.

Brock Wilson is having an incredible 2026 in the PGT circuit disputes. After winning the PokerGO Cup twice, he won again two tournaments at the US Poker Open, taking the lead in the season’s ranking with 1,219 PGT points, while Yuri Martins has 934. Among them, Qinghai Pan is still in second, with 1,062.
This great performance at the US Poker Open earned Brock Wilson, among other things, the series title. In summary, there were two titles, totaling three final tables and four ITMs. This resulted in US$ 434,900 earned in the series and 495 points in the standings, a solid advantage over the runner-up, Jeremy Ausmus, who accumulated 399 points.

The US Poker Open schedule featured ten No-Limit Hold’em tournaments, with buy-ins ranging from US$ 5,100 to US$ 25,200. Brock Wilson won Events 1, with US$ 5,100, and 6, with US$ 10,100. However, on the home shelf, there will be three champion trophies. This is because his wife, Cherish Andrews, won Event 3, with US$ 5,100.
And the most incredible thing is that this was not the only champion couple of the series. In the winners’ hall, which also included Brazilian João Simão, were Alex Foxen and Kristen Foxen. He won Event 7, while she won Event 4, in addition to making it to heads-up in the final tournament, the most expensive on the schedule.
