Daniel Negreanu Leads Event #4: $10,000 Big Bet Mix Final Table
Daniel Negreanu won a pot for over a million chips against Alex Foxen to survive late in the day and never looked back, as he continued to accumulate and bagged with a solid chip lead. Negreanu final tabled Event #1 of the U.S. Poker Open and finished in fourth place, and he will be looking to improve upon that as he returns to the Event #4 final table, which is set to air exclusively on PokerGO at 4 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 20.
Negreanu will begin the final table with nearly double the chips as Rok Gostisa, who is second in the counts. Behind them are Tamon Nakamura and Stephen Chidwick, while Dylan Weisman and John Riordan will begin the streamed final table with shorter stacks.
Event #4: $10,000 Big Bet Mix of the 2022 U.S. Poker Open kicked off at the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the 53-entrant field created a prize pool of $530,000. The players alternated between No-Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha, and No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw.
Eight players earned themselves a piece of the prize pool, and Jared Bleznick, Alex Foxen, and Dan Shak made deep runs but were knocked out as the bubble approached. Riordan had a quite short stack and looked likely to bust next, until Cary Katz was involved in a cooler that sent him to the rail, as his pocket jacks couldn’t improve against Negreanu’s pocket queens in no-limit hold’em.
With the bubble having burst, Jeremy Ausmus was next to make his exit in eighth place after running into Nakamura’s superior ace in no-limit hold’em, and Alex Livingston ultimately fell in seventh place in pot-limit Omaha when his aces fell to Gostisa’s boat.
The remaining players have locked up $31,800, but all eyes are on the $169,600 first-place prize.
