USPO #4 - $10,000 Short Deck
Dia 1 Iniciado
Welcome to the fourth day of the U.S Poker Open at the PokerGO Studio just outside of the ARIA Resort & Casino. Event #4: $10,000 Short Deck is on the agenda today and will be the first time that this variation of poker is played at the USPO.
The fast-paced, high action style game will be sure to attract some of the best and biggest gamblers in the world, who will all be gunning to take down the first Short Deck event in USPO history.
All players looking to take down the championship of this year will have to catch up to the likes of Stephen Chidwick and Sean Winter. Both are currently set to battle it out as the top two chip stacks in the finale table of Event #3: $10,000. This is Winter's third final, having made the final day on all events thus far. Chidwick is appearing at his second, but unlike Winter, has taken down an event already in this series.
