In Level 25 with blinds of 14,000/28,000 and an ante of 3,500, Brian “TopCreature” Sherrier raised all in for 297,225 from the button and Yong "IReadYrSoul" Kwon called from the big blind.

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.

"Wyeth": {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Yong "IReadYrSoul" Kwon: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

"Wyeth" held the better hand but it was Kwon who connected with the {6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop.

In Level 26 (16,000/32,000/4,000), action folded to Yong "IReadYrSoul" Kwon who limped in from the small blind and Sridhar “sri100k” Sangannagari checked his option from the big blind.

The {8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop was checked by both players to the {5-Clubs} turn Kwon led out and then jammed after Sangannagari raised.

Sangannagari called off the rest of his stack and the two players revealed their hands.

Yong "IReadYrSoul" Kwon: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Sridhar “sri100k” Sangannagari: {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

Sangannagari pulled ahead on the turn and was looking good to score the double until the {10-Diamonds} paired the board on the river giving Kwon a better two-pair, eliminating Sangannagari in fifth place.

In Level 26 (16,000/32,000/4,000), Yong "IReadYrSoul" Kwon raised from under the gun and then called Keith "ClarkWesterfeld" Donovan's 510,050 three-bet jam from the button.

Yong "IReadYrSoul" Kwon: {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Keith "ClarkWesterfeld" Donovan: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Donovan had Kwon dominated until the {8-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop appeared pairing Kwon's eight.

The {5-Hearts} turn was no help to Donovan as only a ten on the river would keep his tournament hopes alive.

Unfortunately for Donovan, the {6-Diamonds} river ended his tournament in fourth place.

A Look Ahead to the WPT Online Poker Open on partypoker US

Last month, the World Poker Tour (WPT) announced its first U.S.-based online Main Tour event, the $3,500 WPT Online Poker Open Main Event, set for a late December running in New Jersey. That one will also carry a guarantee of $1 million.

The WPT Online Poker Open Main Event will be held Dec. 27-29 on partypoker US Network for players in New Jersey.

The ambitious $1 million guarantee signifies how serious the WPT and partypoker are about making this a premier poker tournament worthy of the WPT name.

“The WPT Online Poker Open brings the most prestigious prize in poker to New Jersey and the partypoker US Network,” said WPT CEO Adam Pliska in a presser. “WPT’s continued pivot toward online will continue with another landmark for regulated online poker in the United States.”

Indeed, the WPT has pivoted into a strong series of online offerings, however, all were offered to the dot-com partypoker player pool, a much larger bunch of customers than the prospective New Jersey pool. Drawing the necessary entries to meet the guarantee will require some effort, and the WPT already announced satellites will be available for as little as $5.
