The US Poker Open 2021 presented a schedule
The US Poker Open returns in 2021 and you will find 12 high rollers tournaments on the schedule. The tournaments start in June and will take place in the Las Vegas PokerGo studio.
For the first time The US Open Poker championship was held in 2018, just a few months after the PokerGO studio opening. Since then, it has become one of the brightest high rollers events, alongside The Poker Masters, The Super High Roller Bowl and WSOP tournaments.
Each year the US Poker Open announces a series points champion. In 2018 Stephen Chidwick became a champion. Stephen won two tournaments in the series and got over $1 200 000. The following year David Peters became a champion: he managed to win the Main Event with a $100 000 buy-in.

Last year, like most poker tournaments, the high roller tournaments were canceled due to COVID-19. The first two years the US Poker Open was held in the winter. But the COVID-19 restrictions were still a major problem this winter, so the series will take place in June.
This year's schedule includes 12 events with buy-ins from $10 000 to $50 000. The first tournament will be held on June 3rd. The buy-in is $10 000. The final tables of the US Poker Open 2021, like last year, will be streamed live for PokerGo subscribers.
During the 12-day series five different poker games will be played: NL Hold’em, PLO, Big Bet Mix, Short Deck and 8-Game Mix:
