Ali Imsirovic Leads Final Table of 2022 U.S. Poker Open Event #11
Ali Imsirovic spiked an ace on the river in a flip to send Chino Rheem to the rail earlier in the day, and he raked in a massive pot that propelled him to a top stack. He continued to run up his stack and ultimately bagged the chip lead heading into the final table stream of Event #11: $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em.
Imsirovic will be ahead of Sean Winter and Jake Schindler, while the shorter-stacked players are Nick Schulman, Tamon Nakamura, and David Peters. Nakamura is already on top of the series leaderboard and will be looking for a third victory, while the other five players are hoping to find their win of the series. The six remaining players will battle it out on the felt on stream, which is set to air exclusively on PokerGO at 4 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 27.

Event #11: $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em of the 2022 U.S. Poker Open took center stage at the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the 55-entrant field created a prize pool of $1,375,000.
Eight players earned themselves a piece of the prize pool. Scott Seiver finished in 11th, Daniel Negreanu was gone in 10th, and Jason Koon was eliminated on the money bubble in ninth place.
Nakamura won a big flip to double against Cary Katz, although Katz doubled several times after. Dan Smith was eventually the next casualty when he was short-stacked and knocked out in eighth place. Soon after, Katz had an opportunity to triple-up, but his suited big slick couldn’t find help against Winter’s pocket kings, and he made his exit in seventh place.
The six remaining players have locked up $82,500, but all eyes are on the $440,000 first-place prize.
The final six players will return to the PokerGO Studio on Sunday, March 27, at 12 p.m. PT with the final table airing on PokerGO.com at 1 p.m. PT.
