Today at the Open: Winter Is Coming

The 2019 U.S. Poker Open is officially underway. From February 13-23, the world’s best will compete across ten high stakes events for the USPO Championship. The USPO trophy, $100,000, and the first High Roller Triple Crown title of 2019 is up for grabs and each day, “Today at the Open” will recap the action and prepare fans for PokerGO‘s final table streams. 

The penultimate season of HBO’s Game of Thrones has been on my Must Rewatch List for a while now. Since April 14, 2019 was announced as the date of the Season 8 premier, I’ve been meaning to go back. Winter looks like it is finally here and (serious spoiler alert) they have a dragon.

What’s that? We’ve heard this before?

Yes, I know. Winter has been coming for a long time. The same can be said about Sean Winter, who is playing the best poker of his life heading into the Event #1 final table. Winter has been a high stakes tournament regular since late 2015, but it is the last few months that have people talking.

There are 59 days until the final season premier of Game of Thrones. Whether that means 59 days until winter remains to be seen, although it is not the betting favorite. As the short stack, Sean Winter likely isn’t the betting favorite to rule today’s final table either. That won’t stop him from trying though and the struggle for the U.S. Poker Open Championship trophy begins today.
