Event #4 Final Table

Another tournament smashed its guaranteed prize pool in the WPT Online Borgata Series powered by the partypoker US Network Event #4: $10K GTD NLH on Wednesday night. The event culminated with "Gohednpopoff" defeating Ryan "Whosyourdoddy" Dodd heads up for the title, outlasting a field of 216 for the first-place prize of $9,078.

The total number of 216 entries generated a prize pool of $43,200, more than doubling its guarantee to pay out a top prize that was more than 90% of the guaranteed prize pool. Registration remained open for two-and-a-half hours, at which point 84 remained with the top 32 due to receive some sort of payday.

Despite levels increasing to 12 minutes in length once the late registration period closed, eliminations still occurred steadily and it took less than 90 minutes before reaching the money. Just over 90 more minutes then passed before Michael “IIIIIIIIIIIII” Haberman was eliminated by Dodd in ninth place to bring about the final table.

"Gohednpopoff" took the chip lead into the final table and increased it shortly thereafter when they eliminated "steveeee" in eighth place in a flush-over-flush scenario. Four more eliminations then occurred over the next three levels, with "joey1way" taking fourth place to punctuate the string of bust outs after their king-queen suited fell to Dodd's ace-ten.

From there "Gohednpopoff' still had the chip lead entering three-handed play though all three stacks were relatively close and increasing blinds made that even truer. Nearly four full levels saw each player take multiple turns claiming the chip lead until "Stonniepokes" lost a coin flip with king-queen to Dodd's pocket jacks to take third place.

The heads-up match started with Dodd holding nearly 75% of the chips in play, and he pulled slightly ahead as if he would never relinquish the lead. However, momentum quickly shifted thereafter "Gohednpopoff" found themselves winning almost every pot until they had a two-to-one chip lead of their own. A few hands later, their queen-jack suited hit trips against Dodd's ace-eight and the tournament became all said and done.

This concludes PokerNews coverage of the WPT Online Borgata Series Event #4. Be sure to come back Thursday at 7:30 p.m. for Event #5: $535 Progressive KO $25K GTD.

In Level 36 with blinds of 50,000/100,000 and an ante of 12,500, "Gohednpopoff" opened to 200,000 on the button and "Stonniepokes" three-bet to 3 million in the small blind. Ryan "Whosyourdoddy" Dodd was in the big blind and jammed for 4.2 million, resulting in a fold from "Gohednpopoff" and a call all in for 3.4 million total by "Stonniepokes".

Ryan "Whosyourdoddy" Dodd: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
"Stonniepokes": {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

"Stonniepokes" found themselves in a coin flip situation for their tournament life. The flop {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} didn't help, but the turn {q-Spades} put them ahead for the moment. Unfortunately for them, the river {10-Diamonds} came behind it to give Dodd a straight and eliminate "Stonniepokes" in third place.

With the pot, Dodd now takes a nearly three-to-one chip lead into the heads-up match with "Gohednpopoff."
