Andrews and Wilson Drive Early U.S. Poker Open Race as Series Shifts to $10Ks

Rising $10,000 buy-ins now threaten to upend the points race.

Overview

  • Cherish Andrews won Event #3 for $117,407 in a 115-entry $5,100 tournament after an ICM deal heads-up with Adam Hendrix, taking the series lead at that stage.
  • Brock Wilson opened the series by winning Event #1 for $120,900 from a 93-entry field, rallying from a major heads-up deficit against Jeremy Ausmus with a key river call and a flopped set.
  • The schedule has moved from $5,100 openers to $10,000 events with PokerGO livestreams, where Wilson took fourth in Event #4 and Andrews finished eighth, and Event #5 returns with Andrews as the short stack at a six-handed final table.
  • The live leaderboard now shows Jeremy Ausmus in front with two runner-up finishes, with Wilson and Andrews close behind, and standings will shift again once Event #5 points are added.
  • The U.S. Poker Open, a PokerGO Tour series at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas, awards the Golden Eagle trophy and a $25,000 PGT Passport to the overall points leader, with heavier weighting in the upcoming $15,000 event and the $25,200 finale.
