David Peters Leads Final 4 in USPO Event #10: $10,000 Short Deck
Event #7 winner David Peters is in prime position to become the first two-time winner during the 2021 U.S. Poker Open after bagging nearly two-thirds of the chips in play in the U.S. Poker Open Event #10: $10,000 Short Deck with a stack of 5,370,000 heading into Sunday's four-player final table.
PokerGO and Poker Central founder Cary Katz and USPO Championship leader Ali Imsirovic both advanced to the final four in the middle of the pack. Both players late registered after podium finishes in Event #9 with Katz taking third place for $118,800 and Imsirovic winning the event for $217,800.
The relatively unknown Thomas Kysar also advanced but has his work cut out for him as he will enter with the shortest stack of 360,000.
