"Gohednpopoff" Eliminated in 7th Place ($1,804)

Anthony Thompson

In Level 36 with blinds at 70,000/140,000 (17,500 ante), "epdawg5" raised from middle position and then called the 1,753,097 three-bet jam from "Gohednpopoff" on the button.

"epdawg5": {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
"Gohednpopoff": {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

"Gohednpopoff" was ahead and the {6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop didn't change a thing.

The {6-Hearts} turn paired the board giving "Gohednpopoff" a sweat and for good reason as the {j-Clubs} river counterfeited "Gohednpopoff," sending them home in seventh place for $1,804.

In Level 36 with blinds at 70,000/140,000 (17,500 ante), "TYdonkman" was all in preflop for 2,293,145 from the big blind and was called by "im_riley" from the small blind.

"im_riley": {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
"TYdonkman": {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

"TYdonkman" was racing for their tournament life and fell behind after the {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop paired "im_riley's" ace.

The {4-Spades} turn brought chop outs if a three were to fall on the river, but it was the {a-Spades} that completed the board and ended "TYdonkman's" night in eighth place for $1,398.10.

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.

In Level 29 with blinds at 25,000/50,000 (6,250 ante), "Gohednpopoff" raised to 125,000 from under the gun and Alex “JinYang” Butcher called from late position before Michael "Gags30" Gagliano squeezed for 972,437 from the small blind.

Jake “FerociousPanda” Toole folded his big blind and "Gohednpopoff" isolated for 2,239,766.

"Gohednpopoff": {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Michael "Gags30" Gagliano: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Gagliano was ahead with his made hand of tens until the {k-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop appeared giving "Gohednpopoff" top two-pair.

The {2-Spades} turn was no help for Gagliano nor was the {6-Clubs} river as he was eliminated in 16th place for $441.98 and Sridhar “sri100k” Sangannagari fell in 17th place while "BOONYANI" dropped in 18th place.
