The Global Poker US Poker Open is back for a third season and will feature dozens of events in collaboration with PokerGO's US Poker Open (USPO) in Las Vegas.
Through the Global Poker series, which is set to run Aug. 21-Sept. 3, players will have the chance to travel to the PokerGO Studio alongside the world's best high-stakes players. The social poker series will have something for everyone, with everything from super deep stack events to bounty events and buy-ins below GC 99,000 and SC 99.
The series comes after the completion of Global Poker's GOAT V series, which wrapped up earlier this month with "Narcisprince79" and "Slob On Me Knob" winning the Main Events.
It was blind v blind, as Alejandro Lococo open-limped into Gabriel Nobrega, who checked in the big blind.
The flop came 2♦A♥8♠, and the PokerStars Pro led for 2,000. His bet was raised by Nobrega, who made it 6,500 before seeing a call.
Lococo slowed down, checking the 9♥ turn. In contrast, Nobrega continued the aggression, betting 13,500. Lococo, who was the stack at risk, quickly moved all in and the Brazilian snap-called.
Alejandro Lococo: A♣7♠
Gabriel Nobrega: A♠2♥
Lococo's tournament life was at risk, with his top pair running into Nobrega's two pair.
There was no salvation for Lococo on the river, with a 6♦ completing the board and sending the Argentinian to the rail.
Level: 13
Blinds: 1,000/2,500

Paris Sitzoukis opened to 5,000 from the hijack and Guillaume Pahon three-bet to 15,000 from the cutoff.
Action folded back around to Sitzoukis, who four-bet jammed for around 50,000. Pahon quickly folded.
Attilio Gatta opened in the hijack to 4,500, finding one call in Marco Manuel in the big blind.
The flop came down 4♠7♥8♦. Manuel chose to play out of flow and lead into the aggressor for 8,000.
Gatta thought on his decision before tossing his cards into the muck.
Beka Magradze was out of position in a heads-up pot against Krystian Lisowski on a board of J♥6♥4♦9♣.
Magradze checked on the turn and Lisowski bet 11,000. Magradze check-raised all in for 61,500 and Lisowski folded to hang on to his stack of around 50,000.
With the board reading 5♠5♥7♦2♥5♣ and a sizable pot already brewing, Jordi Carominas checked and Marius Oprea bet 7,000. Carominas put in a check-raise to 20,000, putting Oprea briefly into the tank.
Ultimately Oprea decided to flick in a call only to see the bad news when Carominas showed down 6♣5♦ for quad fives to take down a chunky pot.
Oprea was left short-stacked and would be eliminated shortly after in a preflop confrontation.
