Christian Roberts Leads PokerGO Cup Event #6 Final Table

The PokerGO Cup continued on Monday from the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, with Event #6: $15,100 No-Limit Hold’em. The tournament drew 87 entries and Christian Roberts leads the final six players.

Roberts held one of the top stacks for much of the evening and then scored four knockouts after players were in the money to cement the overnight chip lead. He leads a final table that includes Nick Schulman, Michael Berk, Keith Lehr, Eric Blair, and Matthew McEwan. These six players will return on Tuesday at 11:45 a.m. already guaranteed $65,250. Up top for the winner is the $352,350 first-place prize, 282 PGT points, and the Event #6 trophy.

The field of 87 entrants created a prize pool of $1,305,000 and the final 13 players earned a piece of it. Jeremy Becker got his aces cracked by Lehr to be eliminated on the soft bubble, and Jeremy Ausmus followed shortly after. Series leaderboard frontrunner Joey Weissman had also gotten his aces cracked by Lehr not long before, and when he got his remaining short stack in with ace-ten against ace-king and failed to improve, Weissman was the unfortunate bubble boy. Neil Warren (13th), Alex Foxen (12th), Ren Lin (11th), Cary Katz (10th), Sam Laskowitz (9th), and Brandon Wittmeyer (8th) were the first to fall in the money.

The remaining players converged on a single table and Matthew Wantman was the first to go when he flopped a set but ran into Roberts' flopped straight. The board failed to fill him up and the rest of Wantman's chips went in on the river of the unavoidable cooler to eliminate him in seventh place. The six remaining players continued to play through Level 16 before they bagged to return for the streamed final table.

Joey Weissman still sits atop the series leaderboard in the race for the PokerGO Cup and a $25,000 PGT Passport with Michael "Texas Mike" Moncek right behind. Blair is fourth following his win in Event #4 and could jump up to second with a victory here. Lehr, Berk, and McEwan each grabbed their third cash of the series, while Roberts, Schulman, and Blair each picked up their second.
