After Seth Davies, Ben Yu, Sean Winter, and Ben Lamb all limped in that order, Stephen Chidwick moved all in for 725,000. Davies and Yu both folded, Winter jammed over the top, and Lamb got out of the way.
Chidwick: 
Winter: 
The 
flop gave Chidwick a gutshot to a king, but the 
turn took it away. Chidwick was looking for an ace on the river but instead it was the 
to improve Winter to a full house.
With that, Winter sent Chidwick packing and put himself in a position to make up some ground in the overall USPO points race.
Ben Lamb limped from the small blind position (remember there are no blinds in short deck) and Ben Lamb raised all in for 620,000 from the under-the-gun position. Yu called and the hands were turned up.
Lamb: 
Yu:
Lamb was dominated and the 
flop didn't do him any favors. The 
turn gave him a gutshot, but it was the 
river that would give him a pair and the double.

and Lamb made a straight to stay alive.

Poker Central photographer Drew Amato continues to showcase the best of his photos from the elite tournaments at PokerGO Studio. Here's a look at the latest batch he's selected in "Through The Lens."
A new variant introduced to the US Poker Open will crown its first champion today as Event #4: $10,000 Short Deck Hold'em, a tournament that began with 42 entrants, will see the final six retun to play down to a winner.
David Peters leads the pack with a hefty 5.45 million, but he faces some stiff competition in the form of Sean Winter, who had made final tables in four straight USPO events, and Stephen Chidwick, who won the opener event and is making his third final table appearance of the series.
Right now, Winter has 240 leaderboard points in the USPO High Roller race, which ties him for second place with Event #2: 410K PLO champ Jordan Cristos. Meanwhile, Chidwick is in the lead with 300 points and is looking to go back-to-back after becoming the 2018 US Poker Open Champion.
Here's a look at how the Final Table Stacks Up:
| Seat | Player | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | David Peters | 5,450,000 |
| 2 | Seth Davies | 3,250,000 |
| 3 | Ben Yu | 1,795,000 |
| 4 | Sean Winter | 1,135,000 |
| 5 | Ben Lamb | 325,000 |
| 6 | Stephen Chidwick | 645,000 |
