On Tuesday night, Frank "FrankyFunk" Funaro topped a field of 44 entries to win the partypoker US Network Online Series Event #3: $15,000 GTD PKO for $2,650 plus $1,981.25 in bounties. He did so by besting New Jersey regular Angel "chromeking" Lopez in heads-up play.

Angel "chromeking" Lopez Eliminated in 2nd Place ($2,544 + $406.25 in Bounties)

In the final hand of the tournament, which took place in Level 21 (7,000/14,000/2,000), Frank "FrankyFunk" Funaro checked the {5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop and Angel "chromeking" Lopez put out a pot-sized bet. Funaro responded by check-jamming all in and Lopez called.

Angel "chromeking" Lopez: {8-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Frank "FrankyFunk" Funaro: {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

Lopez got it in good with top pair but he fell behind when the {5-Hearts} turn delivered Funaro trip fives. The {q-Spades} river failed to help Lopez and he had to settle for second place.

"supremetny" Eliminated in 3rd Place ($1,908 + $150 in Bounties)

In Level 18 (4,000/8,000/1,000), "supremetny" got their stack of 140,000 all in preflop and was flipping for their tournament life against Frank "FrankyFunk" Funaro.

"supremetny": {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Frank "FrankyFunk" Funaro: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

"supremetny" was ahead and looking to hold, but that proved easier said than done as the {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{k-Clubs} flop paired Funaro. Neither the {j-Hearts} turn nor {9-Hearts} river helped "supremetny" and they exited in third place.

Jonathan "jetsfan411" Borenstein Eliminated in 4th Place ($1,590 + $200 in Bounties)

Jon Borenstein

In Level 18 (4,000/8,000/1,000), a big pot took place between Jonathan "jetsfan411" Borenstein and Frank "FrankyFunk" Funaro. It appeared the chips went in on the {6-Spades}{10-Spades}{a-Clubs} flop and the following hands had been tabled.

Jonathan "jetsfan411" Borenstein: {k-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Frank "FrankyFunk" Funaro: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}

Both players had paired their ace, but Borenstein's kicker was best. Still, Funaro had a flush draw and promptly hit it on the {7-Spades} turn.

Borenstein was drawing dead and exited the tournament in fourth place after the meaningless {j-Spades} was run out on the river.

"Jmhusc1" Eliminated in 5th Place ($1,378 + $200 in Bounties)

In Level 17 (3,500/7,000/875), Jonathan "jetsfan411" Borenstein limped the small blind and "Jmhusc1" checked their option to see a {5-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop.

Both players checked, the {8-Clubs} appeared on the turn, and Borenstein led out with a bet of around 9,000. "Jmhusc1" then moved all in for roughly 100K and Borenstein called.

"Jmhusc1": {8-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Jonathan "jetsfan411" Borenstein: {7-Hearts}{3-Spades}

"Jmhusc1" had hit the turn but it spelled trouble as Borenstein had trip sevens. The {10-Hearts} river was no help to "Jmhusc1" and the exited in fifth place.

In Level 16 (3,000/6,000/750), Angel "chromeking" Lopez raised to 12,000 from the cutoff only to have Frank "FrankyFunk" Funaro three-bet to 39,000 from the button.

Brian ��TopCreature�� Sherrier then four-bet jammed for 103,372 from the big blind, Lopez shoved over the top, and Funaro got out of the way.

Brian ��TopCreature�� Sherrier: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Angel "chromeking" Lopez: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The {10-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop gave Sherrier a gutshot Broadway draw, but it didn't come in as the {10-Spades} bricked the turn followed by the {2-Spades} on the river.
