The 2019 US Poker Open continues today with the final table of Event #7: $25,000 No Limit Hold'em, a tournament that began with 60 runners but is now down to the final six. Leading the pack is well-known pro Ben Yu with an overwhelming 3.05 million. Yu has already cashed two of the events thus far in the series, with a best finish of fifth in Event #4: $10,000 Short Deck.
Jake Schindler, Keith Tilston, and Bryn Kenney are the only players besides Yu that will be going into Day 2 with over a million in chips, it will also be the first time any of them have made the final six yet during the 2019 USPO. Nick Petrangelo and Nick Schulman will be coming into the final day on the shorter side of things, but have over $27 million in tournament cashes between them, with all the experience and skill needed to take down the event live at the PokerGO studio just outside of the ARIA Resort & Casino.
The remaining players are guaranteed $90,000 in prize money while the winner will walk away with a $450,000 first-place prize.
