Sean Winter Leads Final 6 Players in USPO Event #12: $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em

Jaxon

The 2021 U.S. Poker Open jacked up the stakes for the final event of the festival with Event #12: $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em eclipsing the $25,000 buy-in in Event #11 and the $10,000 buy-in featured during each of the first 10 events.

The event attracted 42 entries to generate a $2.1 million prize pool. The action was whittled down to just a six-player final table on the opening day with Sean Winter bagging the overnight chip lead with a stack of 2,080,000.

Bill Klein (1,575,000), Jonathan Little (1,450,000), Stephen Chidwick (1,320,000), and Jason Koon (1,110,000) all advanced stacks north of 1 million in chips.

All eyes are on Sam Soverel (860,000), who will hope to spin up his short stack. Soverel needs to come from behind and secure an outright victory in order to dethrone David Peters, who currently is on top of the leaderboard after winning three events.
