On the scenic North Shore area of Pittsburgh, where two rivers (Allegheny and Monongahela) unite to form the Ohio River, poker players are also converging this weekend in pursuit of advantageous river cards to become the next Pittsburgh Poker Open champion.

The event, featured by Poker Night in America, is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the Northeastern United States. Most notably, in 2014, the crown was taken by the legendary poker professional, Phil Hellmuth, topping 254 entrants.

Justin Daley cruised to the title in less than four hours of final table play. Larry Pileggi, a local player and the 2013 PPO Main Event champion, made another final table appearance.
