Here’s a look at a few other winners from the series.

Tamas Lendavi Ships $600 Ultimate Stack

On January 26, Event #18: $600 NLH Ultimate Stack attracted 433 entrants and offered up a $218,665 prize pool, well ahead of the $150K guarantee. The top 56 finishers made the money, including Jim Agate (11th - $3,290), Loyal Sprague (16th - $2,212), Dustin Iannotti (18th - $1,856), Jeremy Becker (23rd - $1,856), and Cole Ferraro (41st - $1,367).

After Mark Aylward Nally exited in third place, the final two players, both well-known and accomplished poker pros, struck a deal that saw Eric Baldwin and Tamas Lendavi both take $34,076, though the latter was ultimately deemed the winner and took home the trophy.

Jessica Vierling Claims Venetian Title

Two-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit gold ring winner Jessica Vierling is no stranger to poker success. She has more than $1.3 million in lifetime tournament earnings according to The Hendon Mob, and she recently added a Venetian title to her list of poker accomplishments. It happened in Event #29: $400 NLH Ultimate Stack, a tournament that took place on January 29 and attracted 106 runners.

That created a $35,510 prize pool that was paid out to the top 14 finishers. With just four players remaining, a deal was struck that saw Vierling win the title and $9,000 in prize money, while Michael Helander, JJ Liu, and John Goodell all received $4,858.

Jeremy Becker Does It Again

Jeremy Becker is known as the king of Las Vegas dailies and nightlies, and that was proven once again as he won yet another Venetian title. It was on February 2 in Event #36: $400 NLH Ultimate Stack, a tournament that drew 82 entries and awarded a $27,470 prize pool to the top 11 finishers.

According to the Hendon Mob, the $9,000 win brought Becker up to $2,927,068 in live tournament earnings, which means he’s likely to cross the $3 million mark before too long. It is an impressive feat, considering his first-ever cash came in 2016. Coming off a 2024 in which he won $1,519,144, Becker had already amassed $163,107 in 2025, most of which came from three big scores in January’s PokerGO Tour Last Chance Series.
