WPT Online Borgata Series Main Event
Day 2 Started
On Sunday night, it took a little over nine hours of poker to reach the Final Table of eight in the WPT Online Borgata Series powered by partypoker US Network $1,060 Main Event, marking the end of Day 1 of the tournament. In total, 440 entries were recorded to generate a total prize pool of $432,700, and the eight who remain will have their eyes atop the first-place prize of $77,349 and a Hublot Big Bang E Titanium watch (valued at $5,200).
That final table of eight will return tonight at 7:00 pm EDT to play down to a winner. We will be offering live updates until a winner is crowned, while the action will also be live-streamed on the WPT's Twitch channel on a one-hour delay (starts at 8:00 pm EDT).
Starting the final table as chip leader is Kenny "chaposticks" Huynh, who this summer won a WSOP.com online bracelet. Following in the counts is Tony "ToNiSiNzz" Sinishtaj" who finished the day with 25,618,391. Chris “rumpthumper” White rounds out the top three, well behind the first two with a stack of 11,738,135.
Start-of-Day-1 chip leader supremetny also made the final table with a stack of 10,054,770, and with blinds returning to 120,000/240,000 and 20-minute levels for the remainder of the tournament, there is still plenty of room for anybody left in the tournament to make a run.

It's easy to get started:
At the beginning of July, the partypoker US Network in New Jersey reached a sizzling conclusion when the WPT Online Poker Open, which combined fields from partypoker US, Borgata Poker and BetMGM Poker crowned a winner. The Main Event drew a field of 868 entries, generating a lofty $317,540 prize pool which surpassed its $300k guarantee. It marked the largest ever event for the New Jersey online poker network surpassing the $302,100 prize pool for the $320 buy-in partypoker US Network $250K GTD back on March 29.
In the end, it was David "TheKing411" Coleman who emerged victorious for a payday of $56,586. In addition to the first-place prize, he also earned a WPT Championship Trophy and an $11,000 prize package which includes entry into the next WPT in-person live event, the WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic, which will take place at Bellagio in Las Vegas ($10,400 buy-in), as well as $600 in cash towards travel expenses.
David Coleman spoke to PokerNews about the win.
Back in July, the 2020 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Event #19: $400 No-Limit Hold'em attracted 1,757 players who rebought 788 times.
The 2,545-entry field created a $916,200 prize pool, and after 11.5 hours of play, New Jersey’s Kenny “Chopuh” Huynh, who is at tonight's final table under the screen name "chaposticks", captured the gold bracelet and $133,856.82 top prize.
Huynh has amassed mid-six figures in online winnings grinding in New Jersey, and in the live realm has $212,130 in career earnings according to HendonMob.
That includes a career-high $80,298 for finishing second in the 2020 Parx Big Stax XXXII back in February. The year before that, he finished fifth in the 2019 Borgata Summer Poker Open Event #16: $2,700 NLH for $69,801.
Early on at the final table with the blinds at 120,000/240,000/30,000, Kenny "chaposticks" Huynh raised to 528,000 with the in early position and Tony "ToNiSiNzz" Sinishtaj responded with a three-bet to 1.7 million. Action folded back to Huynh, who four-bet to 5.4 million, and Sinishtaj called.
Huynh continued for 4.7 million on the flop and Sinishtaj called before both players checked the turn. On the river, Huynh checked and then folded when Sinishtaj bet 6.2 million.
