2026 U.S. Poker Open

After a day of rest on Sunday, it's time for continued action of the 2026 U.S. Poker Open (USPO) in Las Vegas, which, up to this point, has been dominated by two poker power couples.

A big part of that domination is Brock Wilson, who is on the run of a lifetime in the PokerGO Studio that has seen him winning four events in five weeks time. Wilson currently leads the series leaderboard, while high-stakes vlogger Jeremy Ausmus sits in second after three runner-up finishes.

Today will see the start of Event #9: $15,000 NLH, the second $15,000 buy-in event of the series that should continue to attract a mix of top pros and the next generation of crushers.

Action will kick off at noon local time inside the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. Players will begin with 125,000 in chips and blinds will start off at 500/1,000/1,000.

Meanwhile, Event #8: $15,000 NLH will play to a winner with six left as chip leader Joao Simao looks for his latest PokerGO title.

Stay tuned as the PokerNews live reporting team is on-site and ready for coverage of Event #9: $15,000 NLH. Check out the live reporting hub in the meantime.
