"miw210x"

In Level 30 with blinds of 30,000/60,000 and an ante of 7,500, "miw210x" opened to 125,000 on the button and "rule22" three-bet to 240,000 in the big blind. "miw210x" called.

The flop dropped {3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and "rule22" made a continuation-bet of 240,000. "miw210x" called to bring the turn {4-Diamonds}. "rule22" continued, firing a second barrel for 240,000 once more. "miw210x" called again.

The river fell {10-Hearts} and "rule22" slowed down, electing to check. "miw210x" thought for a while, activating their time bank before jamming for an effective pot-sized shove of 1.49 million. "rule22" folded and "miw210x" took the pot and with it, the chip lead.

In Level 31 with blinds of 35,000/70,000 and an ante of 8,750, "miw210x" opened to 145,000 on the button and "rule22" three-bet to 315,000 in the big blind. "miw210x" called.

The flop fell {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{2-Spades} and "rule22" made a continuation-bet of 315,000. "miw210x" jammed for 1.56 million effective and "rule22" quickly called.

"rule22": {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
"miw210x": {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The turn came {k-Spades}, and all of a sudden "rule22" went from being in incredible shape with their overpair of aces to having one shot at hitting a two outer to stay alive in the tournament. Their luck appeared to run out as the river {7-Hearts} completed the runout and the pot was sent to "miw210x," who became the winner of the tournament as a result.

"rule22" earned $3,698 for their second-place finish and knocked out six players for another $600 in bounties, while "miw210x" has earned the first-plae prize of $5,826 with $700 in bounties to go with it. A full recap of the tournament will be provided shortly.

Event #2
Event #2

"miw210x" has become the most recent winner of a partypoker US Network Online Series Event #2: $15,000 GTD NLH Black Chip Bounty, doing so by cracking pocket aces on the final hand of the tournament to earn the first-place prize of $5,826 with $700 in bounties to go along with it.

The $320 buy-in ($305+15) event nearly doubled its guarantee, as 97 entries generated a total prize pool of $29,585. Of that total, $19,885 went to the main prize pool and the remaining $9,700 was dispersed through bounties. Registration remained open for three hours and "miw210x" was seen at or near the top of the leader board during the last levels of the late registration period. Just 18 remained when registration closed, and they were one of two players with over half a million in chips.

By the time eventual runner-up rule22 burst the bubble with a double-knockout to bring the field to 11, "miw210x" had almost 1 million in chips, and they took the chip lead into the final table of nine with a seven-figure stack a few minutes later; though e-eventual fifth-place finisher Jon “Jetsfan411” Borenstein was hot on their heels with a seven-figure stack of his own.

From Nine To One

Ryan "TheSims" Hohner came into the final table with only a handful of blinds in his stack and became the first elimination of the table. A full level then went by before "Gohednpopoff" and Brian "TopCreature" Sherrier found the virtual rail in short succession, taking the number of players down to six before "King_Icon" bowed out on the following level when their pocket nines could not hold versus ace-king in an all-in preflop situation against "IReadYrSoul."

"miw210x" took the chip lead into five-handed play, but stacks proceeded to even as "rule22" eliminated Borensein in fifth place and then "IReadYrSoul" knocked out "RickRahim" in fourth. "IReadYrSoul" then gained the momentum and took a commanding chip lead during three-handed play, but eventually lost three-straight all-ins to double "miw210x" and "rule22" before running ace-seven into the ace-king of "rule22" to bust in third.

When heads-up play begain, "rule22" had more than a two-to one chip lead. They increased it briefly before doubling "miw210x" to bring stacks to nearly even. From there, "miw210x" took the lead by winning a sizeable pot without showdown and then got the rest after stacks got in on the flop on a king-high board: "miw210x" was holding king-trey suited and had run it into pocket aces but a king on the turn saved them and earned them the victory.
