The 2018 U.S. Poker Open was the first of its kind and comprised of eight high-stakes tournaments ranging from $10,000 to $50,000, including a Pot-Limit Omaha and Mixed Game event. The player who grossed the most during these eight events was crowned U.S. Poker Open Champion, taking home an enormous one-of-a-kind trophy.
Chidwick said, "My current theory is that AI got really good and realistic, and I somehow signed up to be Fedor Holz for a week.
"I just won all my all-ins, and that makes poker really easy. It's been very surreal, but at the end of the day it's just another day of poker, and I focus on every hand like I usually would.
"I've received a lot of congratulatory messages from friends and people saying that they're happy seeing that it's now my time. Throughout my career and the downswings, everyone has always showed a lot of faith in me, and I rely on investors to play all these big tournaments, and it feels really good to help out my friends by winning them some money, and show them that their support was deserved.
"I've tried to get to a place where the losses don't bother me too much, and the wins don't go to my head. I think I've done a good job at that, because the most important things in my life are still family and friends."
Stephen Chidwick started the week by making the final table of the first event, placing fifth. Justin Bonomo took down the event for $190,400 as 68 players entered this $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em tournament.
