The high stakes poker action continues at the PokerGO Studio at the ARIA Resort and Casino on Sunday with 36 entries battling it out on the opening day in the PokerGO Cup: Event #6: $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em for a share of the $900,000 prize pool.

John Riordan went on a spectacular run to close out the day by eliminating three high-profile opponents just before the money bubble broke to advance to the final table with a commanding final table chip leading stack of 1,700,000. Riordan ended the quests of Ali Imsirovic to get his third PokerGO Cup win, Alex Foxen his second PokerGO Cup win, and David Coleman his first win.

The final table will be a deep-stacked affair with players starting with an average of 50 big blinds. Riordan will kick off the action with more than double the stacks of his nearest competitors Thomas Winters (765,000), Anuj Agarwal (740,000), and Cary Katz (690,000), while partypoker Ambassador Jason Koon (385,000) and Steve Zolotow (220,000) will aim to spin up their shorter stacks.
