Cherish Andrews and Brock Wilson are dominating the 2026 U.S. Poker Open in Las Vegas. The power couple has secured multiple deep runs and final tables.
While many fans expected the usual suspects to command the spotlight at the 2026 U.S. Poker Open (USPO), a different duo is currently rewriting the script.
In a series defined by elite competition, Cherish Andrews and Brock Wilson have emerged as the definitive power couple of the felt.
While Kristen and Alex Foxen often steal the headlines, it is Andrews and Wilson who are currently dictating the pace of play at the PokerGO Studio.
The couple's recent run of form is nothing short of remarkable. Brock Wilson, still fresh off his victory at last month's PokerGO Cup, has maintained his high-level intensity.
On Wednesday, Wilson locked up a fourth place finish in Event #4: $10,000 NLH, earning $66,000, before immediately pivoting to a ninth place finish in Event #5 for another $24,000.
Cherish Andrews is mirroring that success, proving that her recent "big sad downswing" is officially a thing of the past.
After finishing eighth in Event #4 for $26,400, she successfully navigated the field in Event #5. Despite bagging a short stack, her persistence has turned this into a potential career-defining month.
A Battle for the Leaderboard
As it stands, the USPO leaderboard is a crowded house at the top. Jeremy Ausmus currently holds the pole position thanks to two runner-up finishes, but his lead is under immediate threat.
Wilson and Andrews currently sit in second and third place respectively. Once the points from Event #5 are officially tallied, a major shake-up is expected that could see either member of the couple take the throne.
Wilson Eyes Another Title in Event 6
The momentum shows no signs of slowing down. As Day 2 of Event #6 gets underway, Brock Wilson has positioned himself perfectly to capture more hardware. He currently holds the chip lead, though he faces stiff competition from Poker Hall of Famer Nick Schulman, who sits in second.

| 5 | Justin Vaysman | United States | 7,50,000 |
With Wilson leading the pack and Andrews remaining a constant threat in every buy-in, the 2026 U.S. Poker Open is quickly becoming a two-person showcase. Fans can expect a high-stakes showdown as the series enters its final stretch.
