Inaugural Jordan Fishman Cup Up For Grabs in the $1,200 New England Poker Championship
Jordan Fishman will be on plenty of hearts and minds at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Milford, Massachusetts, over the next two days.
Fishman, the retired professor and biochemist, won the $1,650 High Roller at last year’s Eastern Poker Tour stop here. Cheered on by his girlfriend Linda, whom he met while playing the tour, Fishman beat out a field of 86 players to earn $45,000, the largest score of his poker career.

Players begin the day with a 100,000 starting stack and blinds of 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Levels will be 40 minutes long, with a 10-minute break after every four levels and a 40-minute dinner break at the end of Level 12 around 8:20 p.m. Late registration remains open until the start of Level 13.
Day 1 is scheduled to play down to a final table of eight. The finalists then return tomorrow at noon, with action streamed on the Eastern Poker Tour’s official YouTube channel. Blinds will be rolled back to a 30 big blind average at the final table.
