Tentnowski Doubles Once More To Reclaim Chip Lead

"Stonniepokes"

In Level 35 with blinds of 60,000/120,000 and an ante of 15,000, Stanton "Stonniepokes" Tentnowski raised it up to 240,000 on the button and Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell defended his big blind.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Campbell check-raised a continuation-bet of 306,000 from Tentnowski, making it 1.42 million to go. Tentnowski three-bet jammed for 2.6 million and Campbell called.

Stanton "Stonniepokes" Tentnowski: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell: {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Tentnowski's top two pair was in need of fading hearts, fives, and fours, and much to his fortunes saw a compliant runout of {q-Clubs}{a-Spades} earn him the double and once again take back the chip lead in the match.

Stanton "Stonniepokes" Tentnowski Takes Down partypoker US Nework Players Series Event #4 for $8,580

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.

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.
