Andrew "LuckyChewy" Lichtenberger is the first winner of the PokerGO Tour Kickoff series as he held off red-hot Nick Schulman to win $117,600 and his seventh PGT title.

The $5,100 buy-in event marked the start of a series with five high roller tournaments in PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas from Jan. 20-25. It drew 84 runners for a prize pool of $420,000.

The final table included Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel (7th - $16,800), online all-star Patrick Leonard (6th - $21,000) in a rare PokerGO Studio appearance and two-time bracelet winner John Riordan (4th - $39,900).

Cooling Down Schulman

Schulman's runner-up finish is just weeks removed from finishing runner-up to PGT Player of the Year Jeremy Ausmus in the $1 Million PGT Championship for $200,000. Not long before, he won a PGT Last Chance high roller for $283,050 in Las Vegas and his sixth World Series of Poker bracelet and $145,000 at WSOP Paradise.

Schulman had a strong start at the final table as he cracked Seidel's queens with ace-queen to send the 10-time bracelet winner to the rail in seventh place. He later eliminated third-place finisher Matthew McEwan as his ace-eight pipped McEwan's nine-eight.

Lichtenberger and Schulman were near even in chips as they played a nearly hourlong heads-up battle. Schulman was on the ropes when he moved all in with jack-seven as was called by Lichtenberger with a suited king-nine. Neither player improved on the flop but "LuckyChewy" turned a king to have the poker commentator drawing dead.

The victory brought Lichtenberger his seventh PGT title and his first live tournament win since September 2023 when he won a PokerGO Masters event for $204,000, adding to his $21 million in Hendon Mobearnings.
