Eric "alwaysliquid" Vanauken Wins partypoker US Network Event #2 for $8,880

Another series on the partypoker US Network, another tournament victory for Eric "alwaysliquid" Vanauken.

This time around, Vanauken topped a field of 76 in Event #2, a $320 buy-in Progressive Knockout in which he claimed the top prize of $2,908 and added another $5,972 in bounties for a combined $8,880 in earnings, nearly 40% of the overall $22,800 prize pool.

Vanauken was in the top 10 of the leader board all tournament long, working his way up to the top three by the ninth level of play in the evening and taking the chip lead within the last half-hour of the 15-level late registration period.

By the time registration closed, Vanauken nearly doubled his already-chip-leading stack and became the first player to reach 1 million, and kept climbing from there as he eliminated Daniel "leinad" Buzgon in ninth place on the bubble.

Two eliminations later, Vanauken took his chip lead into the final table. He briefly relinquished it to eventual runner-up "RiverMan" during four-handed play, but reclaimed it after eliminating "l23weeeeeeeee" in fourth place and followed it up by running the table, knocking out "dadadada" in third, and then mowing down "RiverMan" heads up to earn yet another victory in a partypoker US Network Series tournament.
