The halfway point of the latest partypoker US Network Online Series has officially passed and the largest buy-in of the series is on tonight's schedule with PokerNews's live coverage of Event #7: $25K GTD 6-Max PKO Bounty, set to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Featuring a buy-in of $535 with a Progressive Knockout format, $250 of each player's buy-in will go towards the prize pool while the remaining $250 will be placed atop their head as a bounty.

Each time a player is knocked out, half of their bounty will be awarded to their assailant while the other half will be added to that player's total bounty.

All within New Jersey are able to play across the three platforms of partypoker US, Borgata Poker and BetMGM Poker are eligible to compete.

Starting stacks are 75,000 with blinds beginning at 150/300 and an ante of 40. Anyone who is knocked out will have the opportunity to re-enter as many times as they wish through the first 15 levels of play.

Levels are set to last 10 minutes each through the first four hours of play, meaning two-and-a-half hours of late registration will be available for all who wish to enter after play begins. Once play reaches Level 24, blinds increase to 12 minutes for the rest of the tournament.

Ryan Hohner

In Level 13 with blinds of 1,800/3,600 and an ante of 450, Ryan “TheSims” Hohner raised to 7,200 from the cutoff, Angel "chromeking" Lopez called from the small blind and Derek "pompii" Sudell squeezed for 30,823 from the big blind.

Derek "pompii" Sudell: {k-Spades}{10-Spades}
Ryan “TheSims” Hohner: {q-Spades}{4-Spades}

Sudell had Hohner in rough shape until the {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop dropped to turn the tides as it gave Hohner trip fours.

The {q-Diamonds} sealed the deal for Hohner on the turn and the meaningless {j-Hearts} completed the board on the river.

In Level 22 with blinds of 8,000/16,000 and an ante of 2,000, Ryan “TheSims” Hohner open-jammed for 145,789 from the hijack and Ross “thehebrewhammer” Gottleib called from the big blind.

Ryan “TheSims” Hohner: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Ross “thehebrewhammer” Gottleib: {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Hohner was behind holding live cards and the {9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop gave him more outs with a gutshot straight draw.

The {j-Diamonds} on the turn didn't change a thing as Hohner needed any king, queen or ten to win the hand.

Unfortunately for Hohner, the {5-Clubs} completed the board on the river ending his tournament before the money.

Yong "IReadYrSoul" Kwon: {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Brian “TopCreature” Sherrier: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Sherrier held the better hand and nothing changed after the {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} flop.

The {a-Clubs} turn paired Sherrier but it also gave him a sweat as it gave Kwon the club flush draw.

Unfortunately for Sherrier, the {8-Clubs} appeared on the river completing Kown's flush and eliminating Sherrier is seventh place.
