Peters wins US Poker Open Main Event

The final event of the U.S. Poker Open has concluded from inside the PokerGO Studio at Aria Resort & Casino with David Peters winning the Event #10 – $100,000 No Limit Hold’em Main Event for $1,320,000, while simultaneously snatching the U.S. Poker Open Championship from Sean Winter to be awarded an additional $100,000 in prize money and join Stephen Chidwick as U.S. Poker Open Champions.

“This feels amazing,” Peters said after it was all said and done, “This is obviously a very prestigious tournament, a great series, and to come from behind and to pass Sean by 10 points at the very end, that’s a pretty-pretty crazy feeling.”

The 31-year old Peters has quietly amassed results all around the world on his way to building one of the most impressive poker resumes. Peters’ lifetime tournament earnings now sit at $31.9 million, placing him fifth-place on the All-Time Money List and just $600,000 shy of eclipsing Germany’s Fedor Holz.
