The high-roller crusher made two additional final tables during the six events.
The 2019 edition of the US Poker Open is going at full speed in the ARIA Resort & Casino. As expected, the very best players gathered at the venue, to play the high-roller events.
A total of six events have already been played out and Stephen Chidwick keeps crushing. The UK pro's performance is extreme. He played four final tables throughout the series and managed to close out two events.
First, he took down the opening $10,000 NLH tournament, which awarded him with $216,000. He overcame a US-dominated final table, as the other five finalists were all US-based. Stephen beat Sean Winter in the heads-up, who also has a great week behind him.

Winter got 6th in the $10,000 PLO Event #2 for $38,400, finished in 5th place in the USPO #3 - $10,000 NLH event for $72,800 and took down the $10,000 Short Deck tourney, which earned him $151,200.
The only one player with even better results is Chidwick himself, who also made the final table in the USPO #3 - $10,000 NLH event, finishing 3rd for $113,750. He got 6th in the short deck event for $25,200, then took down the $25,000 PLO for $351,000.
