Poker Coach Jonathan Little breaks down a hand played by his former student, Justin Saliba (JustGTO). This hand was played on the final table of a $10,000 buy-in tournament, Event 4 of the 2025 PokerGO Cup! In this hand, Justin is the overwhelming chip leader with 2 other opponents remaining in the tournament. He is in the Big Blind facing off against the 2nd place chip stack in the Small Blind and the difference between stacks is significant. This is the dream spot for poker tournament professionals and Justin knows exactly how to take advantage of this spot. Watch along until the end to find out how he does it!

Having the chip lead on the final table is a poker superpower, it gives you the ability to apply significant payout pressure to your opponents which allows you to build your stack even bigger & increase your odds of winning the tournament. But if your opponent’s know that you will be exploiting them by increasing your aggression, surely they will adapt & start to call wider… right?

In this video, poker coach Jonathan Little gives you the strategy for poker tournament final tables, how you should adjust to ICM on both sides of the chip distribution and how to win poker tournaments.
