Back in April, poker streaming service PokerGO announced a series of high-stakes poker tournaments in 2021 with a new points system that promised "will separate and celebrate the most elite professional poker players" while rewarding the top three finishers shares of $175,000 in prizes.
Dubbed "The PokerGO Tour," the events counting toward the leaderboard will include some 150 tournaments at buy-ins of $10,000 or more throughout the rest of the year. With a dozen big buy-in events, the 2021 US Poker Open, which is happening now, is sure to rock the leaderboard, but before it does, we thought we'd take a look at the current standings headed into the USPO.
