Another Heads-Up Cooler Decides Poker Masters Title as Lehr Wins $277K

Poker veteran Keith Lehr proved there's still plenty of life in the old guard, coming from behind to win Event #8: $15,700 NLH at the 2026 Poker Masters for $277,200. Lehr denied overnight chip leader Vitalijs Zavorotnijs his second title of the series after a fortunate river card brought a sudden end to their heads-up battle at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. Zavorotnijs had turned Broadway against Lehr's top two pair, only for the American to river a full house and claim the trophy.
