HillKerby

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:
"ELITEMALESSO":

White hit top pair, top kicker on the flop but was still behind his opponent's pair of kings. The turn gave him four more outs to Broadway, but the river 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.

ELITEMALESSO	121,550 121,550	121,550

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 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:
Yong ‘IReadYrSoul’ Kwon:

Kwon was ahead with top pair but the turn 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 and Campbell secured the double.

"StellaParks":
"E.J.D.":

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

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

HillKerby

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.
