Brian “TopCreature” Sherrier Wins the partypoker US Network Online Series Event #19: $75,000 GTD NLH Main Event for $21,540
The 2020 partypoker US Network Online Event #19: $75,000 GTD NLH Main Event came to an end early Monday morning after Brian “TopCreature” Sherrier outlasted a field of 317 entries for a first-place prize of $21,540.
The final event of the week-long series saw only 34 players start the tournament but that number increased drastically as the $75,000 guarantee was smashed by the time the registration period ended.
The $95,100 prize pool became official after Level 21 and was paying out the top 36 players. A total of three levels passed before Angel "chromeking" Lopez lost a flip holding pocket tens to end up as the tournament's bubble boy leaving the remaining players in the money.
The virtual bodies started dropping like flies as Ryan “TheSims” Hohner (34th - $571), Jon “Jetsfan411” Borenstein (31st - $571) and "spinach_kale" (22nd - $761) were eliminated a ways away from the final table while Shankar "burgersssss" Pillai came up just short in 12th place for $1,331.
Final Table Action
The final table saw three players fall in quick succession as Alex “JinYang” Butcher, "deTerMiNeD2bLow", and "bigcakes1" all exited in Level 32.
Once six-handed action started, Sherrier made quick work of Ryan "Whosyourdoddy" Dodd after he cracked his aces and then he won a race to knock "Borgatcha" out in fifth place ($5,706).
After those two eliminations, Sherrier held over 20 million in chips and it only took one level before he captured the victory.
