Justin Bonomo and Stephen Chidwick Shine at US Poker Open in Las Vegas
The US Poker Open series took place from February 1 to 11, 2018, at the Aria casino, featuring 8 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $10,000 to $50,000. The events were broadcast live on PokerGo, allowing viewers to watch all final tables with open cards.
Justin Bonomo won the first tournament, a $10k NLHE event, after a final showdown with Boutros Naddam. Bonomo's victory was part of a remarkable streak that saw him win around $4 million in tournaments over 11 months in 2017, despite a losing streak in November. Bonomo attributed his success to improved all-in decisions rather than specific lifestyle changes.
Richard Kirsch won the second tournament, a $10k PLO event, defeating Mike Gorodinsky in the heads-up. The tournament featured a strong field, including several high-profile players. Daniel Negreanu and Stephen Chidwick were among the leaders in the third tournament, a $25k NLH event, with Chidwick ultimately winning. Chidwick's victory was part of a remarkable run that saw him win two tournaments in a row.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
