Shannon Shorr captured the 2025 US Poker Open crown after he won his second title of the series on Thursday. Shorr had won Event #5: $10,100 NLH for $220,400 just a few days ago. But this win on Thursday topped that one with a massive $529,250 first-place prize.<\/p>\n

After some impressive performances from many players, including the Foxen power couple<\/a>, Shorr ended up having the last laugh with the overall series title.<\/p>\n

Event #8 had a $25,200 buy-in and garnered 73 entries, creating big numbers up top in the series finale. The final table consisted of some big names, including a final four featuring Shorr, Nick Petrangelo, Landon Tice, and Nacho Barbero.<\/p>\n

Shorr took advantage of his position to make his move at the final table, with the final four being a very balanced battle, with each player going up and down before Petrangelo and Tice went out in 4th and 3rd, respectively.<\/p>\n

Shorr went head-to-head against Barbero for a heads-up battle worth nearly $200,000 and the overall series title. The two began almost even in chips, but Shorr took victory fairly quickly after Barbero made an incorrect call against Shorr’s two-pair.<\/p>\n

Taking the Golden Eagle Trophy<\/h2>\n

Shorr was named USPO player of the series thanks to this win. His 538 points beat out runner-up Matthew Wantman with 512 points and Barbero, who finished some distance behind in 3rd place with 402 points.<\/p>\n

For his efforts he received the beautiful golden eagle trophy, which is no doubt one of the coolest trophies in poker.<\/p>\n

Overall, it has been a very successful 2025 season for Shorr thus far, particularly over the past month.<\/p>\n

This win was Shorr’s third victory in the span of three weeks. In addition to the aforementioned win in USPO Event #5, he also won his first WSOP circuit ring<\/a> at the Horseshoe in Vegas. In total the three wins totaled $957,265. Those wins plus other results in that span, mean that he has won over $1 million in just three weeks.<\/p>\n

The Alabama native now has $15.6 million in career earnings and continues to rise up the ranks amongst poker’s greats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
