Series of poker tournaments
The 2019 U.S. Poker Open was the second season of the U.S. Poker Open, a series of high-stakes poker tournaments. It took place from February 13–23 at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. There were ten scheduled events with buy-ins ranging from $10,000 to $100,000. A short deck tournament was added to the schedule, while the buy-in for the Main Event was increased from $50,000 to $100,000.[1]
Like the first season, the series was sponsored by Poker Central and all events were streamed live on PokerGO.
David Peters won both the Main Event for $1,320,000 and the $100,000 series championship with a total of one win and three final tables.[2]
