partypoker US Network Players Choice Series (Dec.13-20)

In Level 32 with blinds of 40,000/80,000 and an ante of 10,000, all of the chips had gone in with "CharlieLucky" at risk in the big blind against Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell, who was on the button. When the runout finished, the board read

"CharlieLucky":
Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell:

"CharlieLucky" had flopped bottom two pair but ran it into Campbell's top two pair. Even worse, Campbell also held a trey in his hand to leave "CharlieLucky" with one three along with paired running eights or nines as their only chances to stay alive. Instead, the board ran out and they were eliminated from the tournament in third place.

Stanton "Stonniepokes" Tentnowski became the newest champion of the partypoker US Network Players Series Tuesday night after topping a field of 165 in Event #4: PLO 6-Max to claim the top prize of $8,580.

Featuring a $215 buyin, the tournament generated a total prize pool of $33,000. Over 100 players were already registered by the time play began, a number that would be solid on a Wednesday night even for a No-Limit Hold'em tournament.

That number climbed up to 165 over the two-and-a-half-hour late registration period, and that 165 eventually became just one when Tentnowski defeated Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell in a heads-up match that capped off a nearly two-hour-long final table.

Event #4 Final Table Results

In total, 18 players made it into the money. Other notables to walk away with some form of payday were Don "dhimp20" Himpele (11th place - $792) and Chris"rumpthumper" White (10th place - $792).

With such a large field, many more were left without chips long before the bubble burst. Some of those players included Anthony "Flawlessbinkage" Maio, Michael "miw210x" Wang, James "Bagels" Lillis, Matt "MattEMenz" Mendez, and Sridhar “sri100k” Sangannagari.

The series and its PokerNews coverage will resume Thursday at 8 p.m. ET for Event #5: $320 PKO Bounty. See you then.
