The Heater Continues
Brock Wilson has long been a consistent presence in the high-stakes tournament scene, with over $13 million in career earnings and results that now include six PokerGo Tour titles.
But this recent stretch has taken things to another level.
Wilson captured two titles at the PokerGO Cup to earn Player of the Series honors, and he hasn’t slowed down at the 2026 U.S. Poker Open. With two wins already this series, he now sits atop the leaderboard with only four events remaining.
Day 2 Action
It was fireworks from the start on Day 2 of the 2026 U.S. Poker Open Event #6, with the first elimination coming on the very first hand.
Justin Vaysman opened to 100,000 from the hijack and was called by Nick Schulman in the big blind. On a flop of 2♠Q♥6♠, Schulman check-raised Vaysman’s 75,000 continuation bet to 200,000. Vaysman responded by moving all in for 650,000, and Schulman snap-called.
Vaysman tabled K♠K♦, but was up against Schulman’s A♠8♠ who had the nut flush draw. The turn brought the 9♠, completing Schulman’s flush and leaving Vaysman drawing dead. The 4♣ river was a formality, and Vaysman was eliminated in fifth place to get the final day off to a a hot start.
Clemen Deng looked set to score the next knockout shortly after, but the script flipped in a key clash with Jeremy Becker.
Deng opened to 115,000 from the cutoff and Becker three-bet to 305,000 from the small blind. After the action folded back, Deng clicked it up to 495,000, prompting Becker to move all in for 1,010,000. Deng snap-called.
Becker was in rough shape with 8♥8♦ against Deng’s A♥A♣, but the flop of 5♠10♣8♠ turned things around, giving Becker a set. The 5♦ on the turn improved him to a full house, and the 3♠ river sealed the double.
Deng was then shortly after knocked out in fourth.
Nick Schulman then delivered one of the wildest hands of the tournament to send Jeremy Becker to the rail in third place.
Schulman raised to 180,000 from the small blind and Becker three-bet to 400,000 from the big blind. Schulman called to see a flop of A♦5♠6♣, where he check-called a bet of 190,000. The 2♥ turn brought another check from Schulman, and Becker fired 300,000, which was again called.
On the J♥ river, Becker used some time before moving all in for 695,000. Schulman went deep into the tank, burning through multiple time extensions before eventually tossing in the call.
Becker tabled K♥4♦ for king-high, while Schulman showed 7♥6♥ for a pair of sixes to make the hero call and eliminate Becker, setting up heads-up play.
Heads Up Battle
Heads up play between Wilson and Schulman turned into a back-and-forth battle, with both players taking turns in control. Schulman held the early lead before Wilson surged ahead, and the two continued to trade pots as neither could pull away.
Wilson looked poised to close it out at one point, but Schulman stayed alive after winning a key flip with king-jack against Wilson’s pocket fours. Wilson quickly recovered, however, regaining the lead and carrying it into the final hand.
In the final hand, Schulman opened the button with J♥8♣ and was called by Wilson holding K♠Q♥. The flop came Q♠Q♦10♠, and Wilson check-called a bet of 200,000. On the J♣ turn, Wilson checked again, Schulman bet 450,000, and Wilson responded with a raise to 1,200,000, which Schulman called.
The river brought the 6♣, and after Schulman checked, Wilson moved all in for roughly 3,000,000. Schulman went into the tank before eventually calling with his pair of jacks, but Wilson tabled trip queens to secure the pot and the title, while Schulman finished runner-up.
