After five Day 1 starting flights and a lengthy Day 2 battle on the felt here at Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland, the PokerStars Open Main Event has officially come to close with Charles Furey claiming victory to capture his career-best score of $111,976 along with the coveted PokerStars trophy.

The event marked the return of the PokerStars Open to North America, with the last stop held in April in Philadelphia. The Maryland edition featured a $1,100 buy-in and drew 599 entries, with only 91 players returning for the final day of action looking to capture a six-figure score.
