By Erik Fast| Card Player: The Poker Authority@ Coming into the final table of the 2025 U.S. Poker Open’s $25,000 series finale, there were two players remaining who could seize the USPO series championship away from Matthew Wantman with an outright victory: Shannon Shorr and Jose ‘Nacho’ Barbero. If any of the other five players that made day 2 were to come out on top, Wantman’s lead heading into the last event would hold. It was the maximum sweat for Wantman, as an extended three-handed battle ensued between Shorr, Barbero and Landon Tice.
By Erik Fast| Card Player: The Poker Authority@ Alex Foxen has finished inside the top twenty in the final Card Player Player of the Year standings each of the past eight years. In fact, from 2018-24, he has placed no lower than ninth. The 34-year-old poker pro is back at it again in 2025, with a current ranking of third in the POY standings thanks to three titles and eight final-table finishes so far this year. Foxen’s latest victory saw him beat out a field of 81 entries in the penultimate event of the U.S. Poker Open.
