Welcome to Event #6: $10,000 8-Game of the 2021 U.S. Poker Open
Welcome to the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, for Day 1 of Event #6: $10,000 8-Game of the 2021 U.S. Poker Open.
The inaugural U.S. Poker Open Championship in 2018 was won by Stephen Chidwick, before David Peters was crowned the series champion in 2019. The 2021 U.S. Poker Open will see a 12-event schedule featuring various games throughout the nearly two-week poker series that culminates in the $50,000 Main Event. A new wave of high roller players will roll into the PokerGO Studio in a bid to strike high roller gold, while the old guard of tournament veterans and savvy businessmen will be looking to see their names rise to the top of the payouts page as the title of U.S. Poker Open winners are ready for the taking.
Event #6 will be a rotation of eight games that include No-Limit Hold’em, Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Razz, Stud, Stud Hi-Lo, and 2-7 Triple Draw. Players begin with 125,000 in starting chips, and levels will be 40-minutes in duration with a 10-minute break every two levels. Players that register before the start time of 12 p.m. PT will not have to pay rake on their tournament entry, but this will not apply for late entries and re-entries. Registration closes at 5:30 p.m., which is the start of Level 7 following the conclusion of the dinner break, and players are allowed two reentries during the event.
The U.S. Poker Open will play with a 30-second shot clock, and each player will receive six 30-second time extensions per entry. The final six players will receive an additional six 30-second time extensions. The player that accumulates the most PokerGO Tour points during the series will win the U.S. Poker Open Championship and receive an additional $50,000 in prize money and the Golden Eagle Trophy.
This tournament is part of the PokerGO Tour with players earning points based on the amount they cash for. The full PokerGO Tour schedule can be found here, and the current PokerGO Tour leaderboard is available here.
