Martin Zamani Wins $666,000 and US Poker Open Series Title
Martin Zamani emerged victorious in the final event of the 2023 US Poker Open, securing a massive $666,000 prize and the overall series title. The high-stakes tournament, held at the PokerGO Studios in the Aria, featured a $50k buy-in NLH with 37 entries.
The final event was intense, with notable players like Phil Hellmuth participating. Hellmuth, known for his high-stakes prowess, did not secure a win this time. The tournament featured a series of dramatic hands, including one that eliminated two players simultaneously.
Justin Bonomo, who recently broke the $60 million lifetime tournament cashes barrier, finished fourth, adding $203,500 to his earnings. Andrew Lichtenberger was eliminated on the bubble, and Dan Smith was knocked out in 5th place. Nick Petrangelo finished second, earning $444,000, while Jeremy Ausmus took third place with $296,000. Chris Brewer finished sixth, earning $92,500.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
