Tuesday night was bounty night for the partypoker US Network Online Series, and it began with Event #5: $2,000 GTD Red Chip Bounty.

A Furious Pace To the Finish
The late registration period of more than three-and-a-half hours saw players continue to take shots at building a stack until the very last minute. Once re-entries were no longer allowed, the blinds quickly caught up and it took less than three full levels for the field to reach 30 and make it into the money.
From there, players continued to fall as the final two tables were reached within two levels and twenty minutes after that, only nine remained. "Pudgy53" lost with ace-ten to the pocket queens of eventual champion "KISSMYACE87" to kick off the final table, and "BrigBeast06" and "Passias27" found themselves fall within the same level.
A short break in bust-outs happened as "amandarose_710" doubled through "Fastrayjr19", but the pair would eventually take third and fourth places respectively. "KISSMYACE87" would then begin the heads-up match with a slight deficit to eventual runner-up "Modaddy41", but they flopped trip eights and doubled to take a commanding lead and proceeded to seal the deal a few hands later, earning more than $900 combined among their prize and bounties as a result of their efforts.
"Modaddy41" Eliminated in 2nd Place ($629.29 + $60 in Bounties)
Despite finding a double of their own in Level 28 with blinds of 20,000/40,000 and an ante of 5,000; "Modaddy41" was still at a sizeable chip disadvantage when they got all in out of the big blind and received action from "KISSMYACE87," who was on the button.
"Modaddy41": 
"KISSMYACE87": 
The final board read 
to result in "KISSMYACE87" having a pair of kings to beat "Modaddy41's" pair of fours, resulting in the "KISSMYACE87" winning the hand and therefore the tournament.
"Modaddy41" was the second-place finisher, earning $629.29 plus $60 in bounties for their efforts.
Meanwhile, "KISSMYACE87" has won the partypoker US Network Online Series Event #5 for $883.02 plus $30 in bounties.
