Welcome To Event #6 of the partypoker US Network Online Series

PartyPoker US Network Online Series
PartyPoker US Network Online Series

The midweek marquee of October's partypoker US Network Online Series is set to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET Wednesday evening. Featuring a $20,000 guaranteed prize pool, Event #6: $215 Six-Max PLO PKO will offer a break from the traditional No-Limit Hold'em variant as all competitors will duke it out in the four-card game of Pot-Limit Omaha.

Beyond a different game, this event also features a Progressive Knockout format. In this format, $100 of each player's buy-in will go towards the prize pool while the remaining $100 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 own total bounty.

Starting stacks are 50,000 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. From that point, blinds increase to 12 minutes for the rest of the tournament.

Registration is open for everybody in the state of New Jersey across the three platforms of partypoker US, Borgata Poker and BetMGM Poker. A complete betting structure has been provided below.

"E.J.D" Claims a Bounty

"E.J.D"
"E.J.D"

In Level 4 with blinds of 300/600 and an ante of 75, preflop action saw 7,800 go into the middle in a heads-up pot between "E.J.D" in the big blind and "StellaParks", who was on the button. A bet and several raises on the flop {6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} resulted in "StellaParks" committing their remaining 35,000 and receiving a call.

"StellaParks": {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
"E.J.D.": {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

"StellaParks" saw their top pair, top kicker with a gutshot straight draw run into a set of sevens. The turn {k-Spades} gave them four more outs at a newly-found double gutter, but the river instead came {10-Diamonds} to give "E.J.D" a full house and send "StellaParks" to re-enter.

Mendez Cedes a Dub

In Level 8 with blinds of 800/1,600 and an ante of 200, a blind-on-blind battle saw Matt “MattEMenz” Mendez commit all of his chips in the small blind and receive a call from "Jinxy" in the big blind, who was all in for less, totaling around 40,000.

"Jinxy": {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Matt “MattEMenz” Mendez: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

"Jinxy" was ahead with the aces and watched a safe runout of {9-Clubs}{k-Spades}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts} come to leave the situation unchanged, doubling to earn the pot of 82,900 at Mendez's expense.

Campbell Gets a Good Runout

Kevin Campbell
Kevin Campbell

In Level 10 with blinds of 1,200/2,400 and an ante of 300, four players each committed 10,800 preflop and proceeded to watch a flop of {4-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{a-Diamonds} appear. Kevin “sofcknsick” Campbell was first to act in the small blind and shoved for 19,000, just under half the size of the pot. Two folds ensued to put action onto Yong ‘IReadYrSoul’ Kwon, who was in the cutoff and thought for about five seconds before calling to have a shot at a bounty.

Kevin “sofcknsick” Campbell: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Yong ‘IReadYrSoul’ Kwon: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}

Kwon was ahead with top pair but the turn {2-Spades} gave Campbell a wheel. All of a sudden, Kwon was behind with nothing more than a nut flush draw and gutshot wheel draw to chop. Everything missed on the river {8-Hearts} and Campbell secured the double.

White Gets Thumped

"ELITEMALESSO"
"ELITEMALESSO"

In Level 13 with blinds of 1,800/3,600 and an ante of 450, "ELITEMALESSO" opened the action under the gun with a raise to 12,600. Chris “rumpthumper” White was next to act in the hijack and three-bet jammed for 41,800. Action folded back to "ELITEMALESSO" and they made the call.

Chris “rumpthumper” White: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{3-Clubs}
"ELITEMALESSO": {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{4-Spades}

White hit top pair, top kicker on the flop {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} but was still behind his opponent's pair of kings. The turn {10-Hearts} gave him four more outs to Broadway, but the river {8-Clubs} bricked out and he found himself dry on chips as the pot was sent to "ELITEMALESSO". Moments later, White rebought and received a new stack of 50,000 on the same table.

Hand-For-Hand Play Begins

"ELITEMALESSO"
"ELITEMALESSO"

In Level 17 with blinds of 3,500/7,000 and an ante of 875, action went three ways to a flop of {7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{2-Spades} with 47,000 in the middle and Michael “UFOLDIWIN” St. John led out for 35,000 in the small blind. Kevin “sofcknsick” Campbell called in the big blind to put action onto "ELITEMALESSO" in the cutoff, who shoved for 71,000. St. John reraised to 175,000 and Campbell came over the top, shoving for 278,000. St. John called all in for less, resulting in all three players' hands being shown.

"ELITEMALESSO": {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}
Michael “UFOLDIWIN” St. John: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Kevin “sofcknsick” Campbell: {7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}

Campbell was ahead after flopping bottom two pair and further improved as the turn {3-Diamonds} gave him a set. However, any spade or diamond on the river would improve one or both players to a flush, and the river {k-Spades} wound up putting St. John on top to earn him both pots and the knockout. Moments earlier, "Edsebo" was eliminated by Chris “rumpthumper” White in 13th place, meaning 11 players now remain. Two more eliminations are needed to reach the money, and hand-for-hand play is now in effect across the two remaining tables until the bubble bursts.

St. John Eliminates "thekid32" On The Bubble

"thekid32"
"thekid32"

In Level 20 with blinds of 6,000/12,000 and an ante of 1,500, Chris “rumpthumper” White pumped it up to 42,000 in the cutoff and both Michael “UFOLDIWIN” St. John and "thekid32" called on the button and in the big blind, respectively.

The flop fell {j-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and action checked around to St. John, who bet the pot for 139,500. "thekid32" check-jammed for 463,000 and White quickly got out of the way to put action back onto St. John, who just as quickly called.

"thekid32": {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Michael “UFOLDIWIN” St. John: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

"thekid32" had run top-and-bottom pair into top set but still had flush outs to stay alive. However, no more hearts came as the turn {3-Diamonds} and river {5-Spades} completed the runout and the seven-figure pot was sent to St. John to result in "thekid32" finding themselves as the official bubble finisher of the tournament in 10th place.

All nine remaining players are officially now in the money.

"Jinxy" Eliminated on the Final Table Bubble

"Jinxy"

In Level 21 with blinds of 7,000/14,000 and an ante of 1,750, Ryan "Whosyourdoddy" Dodd opened the action with a raise to 49,000 and "EmeraldForest32" called on the button. "Jinxy" three-bet shoved for 132,000 in the small blind, receiving a fold from Dodd and a call from "EmeraldForest32".

"Jinxy": {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
"EmeraldForest32": {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades}

"Jinxy's" aces were ahead but the flop came {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} to give "EmeraldForest32" the nut straight. "Jinxy" couldn't catch running full house outs as they were drawing dead by the turn {3-Hearts}, leaving only the river {8-Spades} between them and a seventh-place finish.

Six players now remain, all of whom have officially made the final table.
