On Sunday night, the partypoker US Online Network PKO Series wrapped with the conclusion of the Phase Multi-Flight $75,000 GTD Main Event. Players had qualified all week long via $35 buy-in qualifier flights, and there was to be a $320 direct buy option for Day 2. However, a software glitch at the start prevented the expected late registration period, meaning only 79 players got in.<\/p>\n
By the time the error was discovered, play was well underway, so partypoker US officials opted to continue the tournament as was, and given there was only $27,604 in collected buy-ins, those players enjoyed a juicy overlay thanks to the $75,000 guarantee. Not only that, because the usual payout structure remained and some players had already busted, everyone in the tournament received a minimum payout of $218.<\/p>\n
After six and a half hours of six-handed play, \"pay4medsch00l\" emerged victorious to claim the title and $13,597.50 first-place prize. The series was open to New Jersey players on the trio of online poker sites that comprise the partypoker US Network partypoker US, Borgata Poker and BetMGM Poker.<\/p>\n
Others to cash the tournament were \"monge\" (7th - $2,363), Brian \"TopCreature\" Sherrier (9th - $1,275), \"Allyoucaneat\" (17th - $660), BorgataPoker.com Ambassador Michael \"Gags30\" Gagliano (22nd - $488), Clayton \"claytonfletcher\" Fletcher (25th - $413), Mike \"MistaMenzer\" Menzer (45th - $300), Ryan \"Whosyourdoddy\" Dodd (52nd - $270), and Daniel \"leinad\" Buzgon (68th - $233).<\/p>\n
At the final table, \"pay4medsch00l\" got to work with five left, which is when they picked up two black nines and held against ace-eight suited to send Anthony \"Flawlessbinkage\" Maio out the door. \"pay4medsch00l\" then began using the big stack to their advantage by moving all-in frequently to put the smaller stack to big ICM decisions. Eventually \"IReadYrSoul\" dispatched \"ELITEMALESSO\" in fourth place, and then \"pay4medsch00l\" woke up with aces to eliminate \"IReadYrSoul,\" who check-jammed after flopping middle pair.<\/p>\n
\"pay4medsch00l\" began heads-up play with a big lead and closed it out after calling \"Ozzy_Rocks111's\" three-barrel bluff.<\/p>\n
In side event news, some recognizable names claimed titles. Interestingly, for the second series in a row, Eric \"alwaysliquid\" Vanauken emerged victorious in back-to-back tournaments. In the last series, he won Event #5: $7,500 GTD Green Chip Bounty for $3,145.30 and the next day took down Event #6: $2,500 GTD R&A NLH for $1,124.05.<\/p>\n
This series, he won Event #3: $15,000 GTD PKO Bounty for $6,393.44 and the following day Event #4: $12,000 GTD PKO Bounty Boost for $5,691.<\/p>\n
