The first ever online edition of the US Poker Open on Global Poker wrapped up with the SC250,000 guaranteed main event.

A total of 2,208 entries were made in the tournament, allowing the prize pool to easily clear the guarantee and settle at SC301,770. The final 306 players finished in the money, earning a minimum payout of SC241.

After seven hours of play, it all came down to Indiana’s ‘FatboyFish’ and California’s ‘Petrenjello’ for the SC48,132 first-place prize.

‘Petrenjello’ was left with just three big blinds by the final hand, forced to make a stand with JDiamond Suit 3Diamond Suit. He would find some improvement as the board ran out AHeart Suit 6Spade Suit 2Club Suit KDiamond Suit JClub Suit, but it wasn’t enough to beat ‘FatboyFish’ and his ADiamond Suit 5Diamond Suit.

With the series in the books, the attention turned to the USPO leaderboard, where ‘FlushMe2Tears’ topped the Sweeps Coin bracket and ‘richfromkeynote’ took down the Gold Coin bracket.

Of course, just because the USPO is over, doesn’t mean that Global Poker is done offering some of the best tournament action online.
