There is a slight delay in the action as players make their way into the PokerGO Studio.
Today is the last chance to win a U.S. Poker Open (USPO) trophy at the $5,000 buy-in level as Event #3: $5,000 NLH kicks off at noon local time inside the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas.
The final $5,000 event of the series follows Event #1 won by recent PokerGO Cup champion Brock Wilson and Event #2, which has reached its final table with fellow American pro Michael Rossitto leading the way.
The the first two events, Event #3 will feature 30-minute levels with a break every four levels and entry open through the start of Level 9. Players will begin with starting stacks of 125,000 and blinds of 500/1,000/1,000.
After this, the stakes will climb to $10,000 and then $15,000. The series will close out with a $25,000 finale, which will award the most leaderboard points and will likely be the determining factor in the series leaderboard race.
