On Thursday night, Ryan "simlSgg" Hagerty followed up his Wednesday night victory of Event #3 in the partypoker US Network Online Series with a second consecutive win, taking down the $320 buy-in Event #4: $30K GTD PKO 6-Max for $9,223 ($4,039 in prizes + $5,184 in bounties).

The tournament took nearly six hours to play to its completion, with roughly one-third of that time being amassed at the final table. Once Ryan "TheSims" Hohner was eliminated in seventh place ($724) on the final table bubble, over five 10-minute levels were played before "ndirish50" became the next to solidify their payday. Jon "jetsfan411" Borenstein also made it into the money, busting in ninth place ($516 + $562 in bounties) just after Anthony "supremetny" Chin re-shoved pocket fours into Lupo's pocket aces to finish in 10th place and burst the bubble.
Plenty more were involved in the action, only to fall short of the money. BorgataPoker.com Ambassadors Katie "KatieStone" Stone and Daniel "leinad" Buzgon were among those, as were Eric "alwaysliquid" Vanauken, Ryan "whosyourdoddy" Dodd, and David "TheKing411" Coleman.
