David "TheKing411" Coleman Talks About Big partypoker US Network WPT Online Poker Open Win

At the beginning of July, the partypoker US Network in New Jersey reached a sizzling conclusion when the WPT Online Poker Open, which combined fields from partypoker US, Borgata Poker and BetMGM Poker crowned a winner. The Main Event drew a field of 868 entries, generating a lofty $317,540 prize pool which surpassed its $300k guarantee. It marked the largest ever event for the New Jersey online poker network surpassing the $302,100 prize pool for the $320 buy-in partypoker US Network $250K GTD back on March 29.

In the end, it was David "TheKing411" Coleman who emerged victorious for a payday of $56,586. In addition to the first-place prize, he also earned a WPT Championship Trophy and an $11,000 prize package which includes entry into the next WPT in-person live event, the WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic, which will take place at Bellagio in Las Vegas ($10,400 buy-in), as well as $600 in cash towards travel expenses.

David Coleman spoke to PokerNews about the win.

Sherrier Flips Vanauken Out of the Tournament

In Level 14 (2,000/4,000/500), Brian “TopCreature” Sherrier opened for 8,800 under the gun and then called when Eric “alwaysliquid” Vanauken three-bet all in for 66,102 from the small blind.

Eric “alwaysliquid” Vanauken: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Brian “TopCreature” Sherrier: {q-Spades}{a-Hearts}

It was a flip with a 138,704 pot on the line. The {10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop was safe enough for Vanauken, but then disaster struck when the {q-Hearts} spiked on the turn to pair Sherrier.

the {k-Hearts} river was no help to Vanauken, and his run came up short of the money in 10th place, though he did earn $300 in bounties.

In Level 16 (3,000/6,000/750), Angel "chromeking" Lopez raised to 12,000 from the cutoff only to have Frank "FrankyFunk" Funaro three-bet to 39,000 from the button.

Brian “TopCreature” Sherrier then four-bet jammed for 103,372 from the big blind, Lopez shoved over the top, and Funaro got out of the way.

Brian “TopCreature” Sherrier: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Angel "chromeking" Lopez: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The {10-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop gave Sherrier a gutshot Broadway draw, but it didn't come in as the {10-Spades} bricked the turn followed by the {2-Spades} on the river.
