Hellmuth Headlines; Coleman Leads U.S. Poker Open Event #4 Final Table

The 2024 U.S. Poker Open continued at the PokerGO Studio from ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada with Event #4: $10,100 No-Limit Hold'em.

David Coleman bagged the chip lead and holds over 27% of the chips in play as seven players remain. Aram Zobian, Phil Hellmuth, John Riordan, Jonathan Little, Dylan Weisman, and Shannon Shorr round out the players who will return for the final day as play resumes at 12 p.m. PT on Friday, April 12 with the delayed final table stream beginning at 2 p.m. PT on PokerGO.

The 83-entrant field created a prize pool of $830,000 and the top 12 finishers earned a piece of it. Michael Brinkenhoff was the unfortunate bubble boy when he was left short-stacked after doubling an opponent, before he got his last few blinds in with king-six against ace-seven and failed to improve. Among those to cash were Rodger Johnson (12th), Kristina Holst (11th), Sergio Aido (10th), and Victoria Livschitz (9th).

Later in the night, Ed Sebesta got his stack of about nine big blinds in with pocket fives against the ace-nine suited of Little. The runout brought an ace and Sebesta was eliminated in eighth place as seven players converged on a single table. The final table exchanged chips around as Riordan doubled and Coleman added to his lead through the end of Level 16, when the seven remaining players bagged to return for the streamed final table.

Event #2 winner Jesse Lonis currently sits atop the U.S. Poker Open leaderboard in the race to be crowned the U.S. Poker Open champion and receive the Golden Eagle Trophy and a $25,000 PGT Passport, while Rodger Johnson sits second on the leaderboard after picking up his fourth cash in as many events. Zobian is fourth on the leaderboard following a runner-up finish in Event #2 and would take the lead with a victory. Riordan picked up his third cash of the series, while Coleman, Hellmuth, and Shorr each grabbed their second, and Little and Weisman notched their first.

Each player has locked up $33,200 but all eyes will be on the $232,400 first-place prize, 232 PGT points, and Event #4 mini Golden Eagle trophy.
