"Taylor Paur is a highly accomplished poker tournament professional, with two World Series of Poker bracelets and nearly $6.4 million in recorded tournament earnings to his name. While he came up through the online poker streets, he has had plenty of success in the live arena. He was particularly hot in the 2010s, winning his first bracelet in 2013 and the World Poker Tour Bay 101 Shooting Star main event title a couple of years after that."
"Paur broke the live title drought in early 2026 thanks to a win at the PokerGO Tour Kickoff series. He defeated a field of 145 entries in event no. 4, a $5,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em tournament, to earn $174,000 and his first PGT trophy. Paur surged into second place in the season-long PGT points race thanks to this victory. He trails only Andrew Moreno, who won the previous event at the festival and then made a podium run in this tournament."
