Jordan Fishman Leads Final Table of 2025 Eastern Poker Open $1,650 High Roller
On Friday, the Eastern Poker Open continued with its $1,650 High Roller, a tournament that attracted 86 entrants and created a $129,000 prize pool. After more than 13 hours of play, the field was whittled down to the final table of nine.
Each player is guaranteed $3,900 in prize money, but awaiting the winner is a $45,000 top prize. Jordan Fishman is best positioned to make a run at it, sitting with 1,880,000 and the chip lead. Dennis O’Hare sits second with 1,325,000 while two other players are in seven-figure territory.

Among those to compete but fall on Day 1 were Sandra Drum, Sean Miller, Kevin Cronin, Nikita Kutukov, Brian Ng, Jake Dennehy, and John Germano, who back in December won the 2024 Bar Poker Open Florida Championship for $30,001.
When it was down to 10 players, two tables played five-handed until the bubble burst. It didn’t take long before Andrew Camacho got his stack all in preflop holding ace-queen only to run smack dab into the pocket aces of O’Hare. A queen appeared on the flop, but Camacho failed to find another to end his run one spot short of the money.
The final table of nine will return at 2 p.m. local time on Saturday to play down to a winner on a live-streamed final table. PokerNews will also be offering live updates every step of the way.
