It's Day 4 of the U.S. Poker Open on PokerGO, and that means it's time for the third final table stream of the series, this time for Event #3: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em.
A familiar face is at the top of the counts as it'll be Stephen Chidwick starting with the deepest stack when play resumes with eight players remaining in contention. The British nosebleed legend already pocketed first-place dough in Event #1: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em, banking $216,000 for topping a field of 90.
He'll try to make it two out of three today, with Sean Winter, Koray Aldemir and Brandon Adams his closest competition:
| Seat | Player | Country | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lauren Roberts | USA | 815,000 |
| 2 | Koray Aldemir | Germany | 1,835,000 |
| 3 | Ralph Wong | USA | 1,270,000 |
| 4 | Sean Winter | USA | 2,045,000 |
| 5 | Brandon Adams | USA | 1,895,000 |
| 6 | Rodger Johnson | USA | 615,000 |
| 7 | Jerry Robinson | USA | 270,000 |
| 8 | Stephen Chidwick | United Kingdom | 2,430,000 |
Adams, of course, has had his share of success in Poker Central's high rollers, having narrowly missed out on winning the overall title in Poker Masters last fall after making a slew of final tables.
Winter, meanwhile is off to a blazing start as well at U.S. Poker Open. He came second to Chidwick in the opening event and then followed up with a sixth-place finish for $38,400 in Event #2: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha.
Event #3 resumes at 1 p.m. local time in Las Vegas with blinds and antes at 20,000/40,000/40,000. They'll play 30-minute levels until a winner is crowned, with said player taking down $218,400. The stream of the final table starts about an hour after cards are in the air, and you can watch it by signing up for PokerGO for $10 per months or $99 for a full year. Updates from PokerNews will follow the livestream.
