Chino Rheem is now a two-time PokerGO Tour Mixed Games series champion. The longtime poker pro backed up his 2023 PGT Mixed Games II championship by securing the most PGT points during the 2025 running of the same series.
The 2025 PGT Mixed Games featured seven events inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino Las Vegas, with $6,335,000 in total prize money awarded between them. Rheem cashed in three of the seven tournaments, accumulating $348,500 and 384 PGT points along the way. Rheem was awarded the PGT Gold Cup and a $10,000 PGT Passport as the series champion.
Rheem’s largest score of the series came when he topped a field of 92 entries in the $10,000 eight-game mix event for $195,500. That win came just one day after Rheem had finished third in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. tournament for $114,000.
His final cash of the series saw him place eighth in the $15,000 dealer’s choice event, which was eventually won by Poker Hall of Famer Daniel Negreanu.
Six-time bracelet winner Nick Schulman (336 points) ultimately finished second in the series standings thanks to a trio of top-three finishes totaling $374,525. Mori’s Mix event champion Maxx Coleman placed third (322 points), while Negreanu (302 points) and $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. champion Ryan Miller (285) rounded out the top five.
Coleman had a chance to surpass Rheem, having outlasted him in the $25,000 10-game finale event. Coleman made the money, finishing eighth for $56,000 and 34 PGT points, but was unable to run deep enough to edge into the lead at the last moment.
Rheem now has nearly $15.7 million in career tournament earnings to his name, including three World Poker Tour main event titles and a win in the European Poker Tour PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. His success at this festival has propelled him up the season-long PGT rankings. He currently sits in eighth place on that high-stakes-centric leaderboard.
