US Poker Open Wraps with David Peters as Champ Again

The first US Poker Open since the pandemic is complete, and a familiar face claimed the overall championship title yet again.

The PokerGO Studio was abuzz with excitement as high-stakes poker players gathered at the beginning of June to play some big buy-in poker. After having to take the series online in 2020, everyone was excited to be back at actual poker tables, trading actual chips and looking at actual cards.

One player was ready to defend his title, the one he claimed in 2019 by winning the US Poker Open that year. David Peters played tough fields in the 10-tournament series more than two years prior. He ended up with second place in the $10K Short Deck, fifth in the $50K NLHE, and then first place in $100K NLHE Main Event. Not only did he win $1,584,000 for those scores but he became the player of the series, worth $100K and a seat into a $300K Super High Roller Bowl.

Peters would have to fight hard to win it all again. The 2021 US Poker Open offered 12 tournaments, with buy-ins totaling $175K…without taking advantage of any reentries. Action started on June 3 at the Las Vegas PokerGO Studio.
