Table Of Contents
On Sunday, the partypoker US Network Online Series wrapped up its 21-event schedule in New Jersey. The series wrapped up the final four tournaments on its schedule, including the $400 buy-in, $100K GTD Main Event and $109 buy-in Event #1: $100K GTD NLH Phased.
The series, which combined fields from partypoker US, Borgata Poker and BetMGM Poker, catered to a combined 5,309 entrants and awarded $352,417 in prize money.
Here’s a look at winners from Sunday’s action.
Main Event Ends in Heads-Up Deal
The $400 buy-in, $100K GTD partypoker US Network Online Series Main Event attracted 270 runners, which meant the $100,000 prize pool was paid out to the top 30 finishers. Among those to cash but fall short of making the final table was Ryan “simlSgg” Hagerty (11th - $1,500), BorgataPoker.com Ambassadors Katie Stone (12th - $1,500) and Daniel “leinad” Buzgon (17th - $1,100), Jon “jetsfan411” Borenstein (24th - $850), and “bernstreg” (30th - $650).
At the final table, Vinny “brownmagic” Pahuja was the first to fall after losing a race with queen-jack to the pocket nines of “spinach_kale.” From there, “TheKing411” took over the show eliminating several opponents, including Angel “chromeking” Lopez in fifth place after the former got lucky with ten-four to beat the latter’s ace-queen suited.
With three players remaining, “TheKing411” got lucky again holding ace-king suited against the two black kings of “Pokeher.” A river ten gave “TheKing411” a winning Broadway straight and wound up being the last card of the tournament.
After "Pokeher" bowed out in third place, the final two players quickly came to terms on a heads-up deal to end the tournament. "TheKing411" locked up $21,233.09 and the title, while "odo23" settled for second place and $19,016.92 in prize money.

“AvidSmores” Wins Event #1: $100K GTD Phased
At the beginning of the series, Event #1: $100K GTD Phased kicked off and proceeded to hold eight starting flights throughout the week. All told, 726 entrants participated, with 183 of them moving on to Sunday’s Day 2.
Of those, only the top 54 got paid meaning some players had to leave emptyhanded including Jon “Jetsfan411” Borenstein, “JakeTheSnake99,” and bubble boy “GrindUrGearz,” just to name a few.
Among those to cash the tournament were Ryan “Whosyourdoddy” Dodd (16th - $1,000), Daniel “leinad” Buzgon (18th - $1,000), “JEB1030” (26th - $700), “JayOnRiver” (31st - $550), “spinach_kale” (34th - $550), “DaCoolerKing” (40th - $500), “Monkee” (46th - $450), and “Djp120388” (54th - $450).
Early on at the final table, “AvidSmores” and “MoZZyNJ” played a big pot in which both players made a flush, but the former was best to give them a big chip lead. They’d ride that lead all the way to the title, eventually defeated Jake “FerociousPanda” Toole in heads-up play – the result of ace-five suited holding against king-five suited all in preflop – to claim the $18,700 first-place prize.
