The final preliminary event, Event #7: $25,000 No Limit Hold'em, is set to get underway at the US Poker Open.
Over the course of 11 days, the Aria Resort and Casino along with Poker Central has put together another major poker series comprised of eight different events.
The inaugural US Poker Open has brought together some of the best players in the world to compete under the bright lights on one stage. The uniqueness of the series was the introduction of a Pot Limit Omaha and a Mixed Game Championship. The player who is able to earn the most money throughout the course of the series would be crowned US Poker Open Champion.
There is one man who has taken a stranglehold on the overall race, Stephen Chidwick of the United Kingdom. Chidwick has already made four final tables, winning two of the $25,000 events. He has amassed over $810,000 thus far and is looking to add to that number as he will compete at the final table of Event #6, taking place today. There is currently nobody within reach at this moment, but with the $50,000 Main Event on tap for tomorrow, a large prizepool looms on the horizon.
When the action kicks off at 2:00 P.M. local time inside the poker room of the Aria Resort and Casino, players will begin with 125,000 chips. They will be allowed two re-entries over the course of the late registration period that will end after level 9. Players will be under the 30-second shot clock and start with three 60-second time extensions.
The blind levels will be 30-minutes in length with a 10-minute break after every three levels. The big blind ante format will be imposed and the action will continue until an official final table of six has been reached.
