"IReadYrSoul" has claimed the most recent title of the WPT Online Borgata Series powered by partypoker US Network, topping a field of 99 in the $100 R+A Event #2: $10,000 GTD.

The tournament nearly met its guaranteed prize pool in entries alone, adding another 76 rebuys and 60 add-ons to the tally over its two-and-a-half-hour rebuy and late-registration period. When the prize pool closed, $23,500 was set to be distributed over the top 14 places, a figure that more than doubled its guarantee.

Two-and-a-half more hours went by once the prize pool became official before play reached the money. David "TheKing411" Coleman and Alex "JinYang" Butcher began a series of six eliminations within the blink of an eye that brought about the bubble, which burst when "IReadYrSoul" knocked out "Bond18" with pocket queens to ace-nine suited.

Forty-five minutes later, "rule22" eliminated "BlckJck" in ninth place when their kings hit a set on the river to crack aces. "rule22" entered the final table with the chip lead with "IReadYrSoul" next in the counts. Both players had more than double the stack of the next-closest player.

One by one, the field was cut in half until four remained. Three full levels then went by before "IReadYrSoul" knocked out Event #1 champion "treetrap" with ace-king to ace-queen, only to eliminate Anthony "flawlessbinkage" Maio on the following hand after picking up pocket aces and holding to Maio's king-queen suited. Holding more than 90% of the chips in play, the heads-up match lasted only a couple of minutes before knocking out "rule22" by way of a nut flush on the river in an all-in preflop runout.
