Keith Lehr turned a late heads-up reversal into a $277,200 victory in Event #8 of the 2026 Poker Masters at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. The $15,700 no-limit hold'em tournament attracted 56 entries and built an $840,000 prize pool, according to a report by Calum Grant for PokerNews.
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs began the final day with the chip lead and reached heads-up play ahead by almost two to one. Lehr first doubled with pocket kings against pocket fours, taking control of the match before the decisive pot developed.
Zavorotnijs made Broadway on the turn in a three-bet pot, moving ahead of Lehr's top two pair. The remaining chips went in, but the river paired the board and completed a full house for Lehr. Zavorotnijs received $176,400 as runner-up, while Justin Vaysman finished third for $117,600.
The win was Lehr's second PokerGO Tour title and moved him to eighth in the series race. The official PokerGO Tour leaderboard lists him with 265 points, two cashes and one victory. Adrian Mateos remained first with 451 points and two events left on the schedule.
