In Level 2 with blinds of 200/400 and an ante of 50, Katie "KatieStone" Stone opened the action with a raise to 920 on the button. "redraider" was in the big blind and. three-bet to 2,960 and Stone called to take postflop action heads up.

The flop came {9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and "redraider" made a continuation-bet of 3,210. Stone called to bring the turn {4-Hearts}. "redraider" continued, firing a second barrel for 6,420.

Stone thought for a few moments and then decided the half-pot-sized bet was enough to dissuade her from continuing any further in the hand. She clicked the fold button and "redraider" took down the pot.

The second event of the partypoker US Network Online Series is set to get underway at 8 p.m. Tuesday evening with the $20K GTD PKO Bounty 6-Max.

Featuring a buy-in of $320, half of that amount will be added to the total prize pool while the other half will be placed atop each entrant's head as a prize should they be knocked out. Due to the Progressive Knockout format, half of each player's bounty will be collected each time a player earns a knockout while the other half will be added to their own bounty.

Registration is open for everybody in the state of New Jersey across the three platforms of partypoker US, Borgata Poker and BetMGM Poker, with all players receiving starting stacks of 50,000 and blinds beginning at 150/300 and an ante of 40.

Betting rounds will last 10 minutes in length for the first 23 levels, with late registration and unlimited re-entries available through the first 15 of them (approximately 10:40 p.m. ET). After that, they will increase to 12 minutes apiece until a winner has been declared.
