The US Poker Open 2026 concluded with Brock Wilson securing the Player of the Series title. Highlights included David Coleman winning the $25,000 finale for $420,000 and Kristen Foxen demonstrating elite consistency with a title and a runner-up finish.

The US Poker Open 2026 delivered a masterclass in high-stakes No Limit Hold’em, featuring a competitive ten-event schedule with buy-ins ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. Held at the prestigious PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas, the series was characterized by elite-level strategy and a balanced distribution of titles. 

Rather than a single player sweeping the board, the series was defined by the relentless consistency of a core group of pros who dominated the deep stages of nearly every tournament.
The standout story of the series was undoubtedly Brock Wilson. Demonstrating incredible form, Wilson captured two titles, winning Event #1 ($5,000 NLH) for $120,900 and Event #6 ($10,000 NLH) for $224,000.

His ability to navigate early-series pressure and mid-series shifts in play allowed him to clinch the PGT Player of the Series title. 

This victory was particularly significant as it marked his second consecutive Player of the Series honor in 2026, following his earlier success at the PokerGO Cup. Wilson’s win was nearly challenged by his girlfriend, Cherish Andrews, who won Event #3 but ultimately fell short in the finale.

Kristen Foxen further cemented her status as one of the world's premier players with a series of deep runs. Foxen secured a victory in Event #4 ($10,000 NLH), taking home $198,000.

She remained a threat until the very last hand of the series, reaching the heads-up stage of the $25,000 finale. Though she eventually finished as the runner-up in that event for $264,000, her combined performances across the ten events showcased an adaptability that few could match.

David Coleman’s Grand Finale

The series concluded with its highest buy-in event, the $25,000 No Limit Hold’em finale. David Coleman emerged as the champion of Event #10, delivering the single largest payout of the USPO 2026.

Coleman late-registered the event and quickly built a massive stack, eventually defeating Kristen Foxen in a brief but intense heads-up battle. His $420,000 prize was the perfect exclamation point on a series that rewarded aggressive, high-level play.

The 2026 USPO proved that while titles were spread across the field, the "Golden Eagle" trophy belongs to those who can maintain peak performance over a grueling two-week stretch.
