The final event of the 2026 US Poker Open (USPO) is gearing up for a showdown on Wednesday, as seven top pros return to the PokerGO Studio to battle it out in the $25K no-limit hold’em series finale.
The 10-event series has already seen women claim two of the nine titles won so far, and the make-up of the final table reflects this trend. What’s more, there’s been a strong showing from couples, with Alex and Kristen Foxen each winning one event apiece, as have Brock Wilson and Cherish Andrews.
Back to play for the $420,000 up top are: Kristen Foxen, winner of USPO event #4 ($10K NLH), Cherish Andrews, winner of USPO event #3 ($5K NLH), and ACR Team Pro Ebony Kenney, who last month cashed for over $600K at the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju.
Also still in the running for the final title in the USPO series are Jesse Lonis, Darren Elias, Richard Green and David Coleman, who holds the chip lead heading into the final day’s play.
The magnificent seven will return to play it out from 12:45pm PT on Wednesday afternoon.
Andrews chasing partner Wilson for leaderboard win
As the last final table of the USPO is set to begin, Brock Wilson sits atop the series leaderboard with 495 PGT points.
Wilson picked up 4 cashes, including 2 wins, across the series but ended up going out on the bubble in this $25K when David Coleman’s 
held against his 
late on Tuesday. Wilson went out in 8th, with all seven remaining players from the 48-strong field guaranteed a min-cash of $48K.
The only player left in the field to challenge Wilson’s tilt for the series title is someone he’s very familiar with — and not just at the poker table. His partner, Cherish Andrews, enters the final table positioned 5th on the leaderboard with 282 PGT points.
PGT USPO Leaderboard - Top 5
- Brock Wilson: 495pts
- Jeremy Ausmus: 399pts
- Aram Zobian: 359pts
- Clemen Deng: 324pts
- Cherish Andrews: 282pts
That leaves her 213 points behind, but not out of the race. A win would award Andrews with 252 PGT points and the series title; 2nd place would leave her some 55 points behind, good for 2nd on the series leaderboard.
And it’s not just bragging rights up for grabs: Winning the series leaderboard comes with a Championship Bonus in the form of funds to play future PGT events.
To get there, Andrews has some ground to make up, as she enters the final table 6th of 7 with a stack just shy of 22bb.
