Andrew “LuckyChewy” Lichtenberger won Event No. 6 of the PokerGO Tour Sprint on Tuesday, rallying from a nearly 10-to-1 heads-up chip deficit against Alex Foxen to take the $192,000 first prize. The $10,500 no-limit hold’em event drew 60 entries at PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas, building a $600,000 prize pool.
Foxen began heads-up play with the huge advantage after eliminating three of the six final-table players. Lichtenberger doubled with ace-jack against queen-six, then won another key pot with pocket queens against ace-three as the lead changed hands repeatedly.
The deciding hand saw Lichtenberger’s king-six make top pair on a K♣ 10♣ 8♠ 7♣ 3♥ board against Foxen’s ace-seven. Foxen earned $120,000 for second place.
As we reported in October, Lichtenberger had opened the Sprint with a runner-up finish to Chino Rheem after holding the heads-up lead. His Event No. 6 victory was his first of the series and his fourth cash of the week; he had also placed sixth in Event No. 2 and fourth in Event No. 4.
The event paid nine players, with Brock Wilson falling on the money bubble in 10th. Jesse Lonis took third for $84,000, Brandon Wilson finished fourth for $60,000, and Dylan Linde earned $45,000 in fifth. Victoria Livschitz placed sixth for $33,000, while Daniyal Gheba and Neil Warren each received $24,400, and Nicholas Schulte collected $18,000 for ninth.
The win was Lichtenberger’s third title and 11th final-table appearance of 2026, according to Card Player. It added 360 Card Player Player of the Year points, moving him into the top 100, and brought his career tournament earnings above $26 million. It was also his 18th recorded career tournament title.
On the PokerGO Tour table, Lichtenberger received 192 points and rose to 13th in the season-long standings. Foxen moved to third, while Brandon Wilson rose two places to seventh; Sean Winter remained the leader and the top 40 were unchanged. The top 40 qualify for January’s $500,000 PokerGO Tour Championship invitational freeroll.
The final Sprint event was scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 4.
