Cary Katz Leads Event #4: $15,000 No-Limit Hold’em Final Table
Event #4: $15,000 No-Limit Hold’em of the 2022 PokerGO Cup took center stage at the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, as the 65-entrant field created a prize pool of $975,000.
Following a full day of poker, the final table of six would be sit shortly after midnight with Cary Katz finishing as the chip leader with over 2.1 million in chips. Joining Katz at the final table include Brock Wilson and Jeremy Ausmus who final tabled Event #3, while Bill Klein is registering his first cash of the series. Jesse Lonis and Justin Saliba are both collecting their second cash of the PokerGO Cup, but are at their first final table as the final six players have locked up $58,500 in prize money but are chasing the $263,250 first-place prize.
The action in Event #4 began with several new faces taking a seat in Event #4 where the stakes were raised for the first time during the PokerGO Cup. Once the tournament was down to the final two tables, there were a plethora of familiar faces remaining, but after Bryn Kenney, 2021 PokerGO Tour Champion Ali Imsirovic, and Event #1 winner Dan Colpoys all hit the rail, the tournament was now on the money bubble.
Several short stacks remaining, and as each took their turns pushing all-in, it would be defending PokerGO Cup Champion Daniel Negreanu that would be unfortunately eliminated on the money bubble by Brock Wilson. With the final ten players now in-the-money, Jake Schindler would exit first as the final nine players redrew to one table. Steve Zolotow was an immediate casualty when he lost a race to Bill Klein, while the final eight would battle for over 90 minutes before Alex Foxen was chopped up by Cary Katz and Brock Wilson when they each had broadway against Foxen’s two pair.
Needing one more elimination for play to end, Ian Bradley would take on Katz holding a flush draw. Unfortunately for Bradley, Katz had flopped the nut straight, and when no heart fell on the turn and river, Bradley exited in seventh place and Katz climbed to the top of the leaderboard heading into Sunday’s PokerGO-streamed final table.
Katz currently sits fifth on the PokerGO Cup leaderboard, and if he can finish in fifth-place or better, he will overtake Sean Perry who sits first overall. Ausmus can finish in fourth-place or better to overtake Perry, while Wilson needs at least a runner-up finish.
