Eric Polirer Atop the Mixed Games Leaderboard at the Halfway Point

The 2025 Poker Showdown series was already set to be one of the biggest in our history, and now it’s even better. Our players love their mixed and Omaha games, and this series features the return of the $10,000 Mixed Game Leaderboard.
