This latest series took place at The Venetian Resort, where Rheem put together multiple deep finishes. He didn’t win an event outright, but four cashes across the schedule gave him enough points to claim the overall title.
His best result came in the $3,300 Main Event, where he finished second and earned a six-figure payout. That performance carried the most weight in the standings and helped him stay in contention throughout the series.
The leaderboard result came with some debate. Bruno Furth actually finished with more total points after winning the Main Event. However, series rules required at least two cashes to qualify, and Furth only recorded one.
Because of that rule, Rheem was awarded the series title despite trailing slightly in points. He acknowledged the unusual outcome, noting that Furth technically had the stronger single performance during the series.
Other players also found success during the event. Jeremy Ausmus and Sam Soverel each picked up wins, while several regulars added more final table appearances to their records.
The largest individual prize of the series went to Jeremy Druckman, who took down the $10,100 championship event. Meanwhile, Qinghai Pan closed the schedule with a win in the final tournament.
Rheem’s repeat title highlights his ability to perform consistently across multiple events. With more major series on the calendar, including upcoming PokerGO events, his momentum could carry into another strong stretch this year.
