Jake Schindler Leads Final 6 Players in PokerGO Cup Event #5: $25K NLHE

The stakes increased from $15,000 to $25,000 at the PokerGO Studio at the ARIA Resort and Casino for the PokerGO Cup Event #5: $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em and the tournament set a new prize pool record for the festival with 36 players generating a $900,000 prize pool.

The opening day ended with all players in the money for at least a $45,000 min-cash after Sergi Reixach couldn't get his sevens to hold on a two big blind jam against the nine-four held by Sean Winter.

While Winter ended the day on a high note and bagged 830,000 in chips, he won't enter the final table as the table captain. That honor will instead belong to Jake Schindler who advanced with 1,435,000 in chips.

GGPoker Ambassador Daniel Negreanu (720,000) and 2021 U.S. Poker Champion David Peters (700,000) also advanced with near-average chip stacks while David Coleman (445,000) and Stephen Chidwick (370,000) also advanced and will aim to spin up their short stacks when the action resumes.
