"COMEATTHEKING" Wins partypoker US Network Online Series Event #6 for $6,843 Via Heads-Up Chop

"COMEATTHEKING"
"COMEATTHEKING"

"COMEATTHEKING" has claimed the most recent partypoker US Network Online Series title, earning a payday of $6,843 and taking first place in Event #6: $20,000 GTD NLH after agreeing to a heads-up chop with "BOONYANI", who earned an even $6,000 from the deal.

The guaranteed prize pool of $20,000 was well-exceeded, as 139 entries generated a prize pool of $27,800 that was paid out to the top 15 finishers. Late registration lasted for three hours, and four tables were in play when the prize pool became finalized. That number was halved by the break that came 35 minutes later, as just 17 players remained and hand-for-hand play had begun.

Bubble play lasted for nearly two full levels as a handful of players dwindled to crumbs, and BigDickRick eventually lost their last ante in order to finish in 16th place and burst the bubble. Five eliminations occurred within the next five minutes to reach the final table bubble, where "maniacalmonk" was eliminated in 10th place by eventual third-place finisher "IReadYrSoul".

Final Table Action

"IReadYrSoul" entered the final table with the chip lead and watched short stacks battle it out as eventual seventh-place finisher "rule22" knocked out "Craig9222", with hoodrathings busting out in eighth place in between the two aforementioned eliminations.

It looked as if "sri100k" may lead a charge to the top, as they eliminated "spinach_kale" in sixth place and took the chip lead into the fifth break of the evening. However, "IReadYrSoul" then regained the chip lead as "kneadthedough8" became the next to fall.

That chip lead did not last for long, though. "COMEATTHEKING" then led their charge to the top after hitting a straight against "BOONYANI," who found themselves crippled before staging an improbable comeback that consisted of several doubles. "sri100k" then saw their luck run dry, ultimately being eliminated by "COMEATTHEKING" in fourth place.

Three-handed play lasted for a level-and-a-half and "COMEATTHEKING" increased their chip lead steadily over that timeframe. Eventually, "IReadYrSoul" shoved ace-four suited into the pocket sevens of "BOONYANI" and did not get there, resulting in their elimination in third. From there, both remaining players immediately went into talks to make a deal and found an agreement without needing to play a single hand of heads-up poker in order to finish the tournament.

A Deal Has Been Reached!

The two players have agreed to a deal with "COMEATTHEKING" earning $6,843 and "BOONYANI" taking home $6,000. Here's a look at the agreement.

"IReadYrSoul" Eliminated in 3rd Place ($3,614)

"IReadYrSoul"
"IReadYrSoul"

In Level 32 with blinds of 40,000/80,000 and an ante of 10,000, "IReadYrSoul" jammed for 1.1 million on the button and "BOONYANI" called in the big blind.

"IReadYrSoul": {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
"BOONYANI": {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

"IReadYrSoul" needed help and found a little bit on the flop {4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. However, they were still behind with their pair of fours and never improved further as the turn {6-Diamonds} and river {10-Clubs} completed the runout, leaving their tens and fours no good to the tens and sevens of "BOONYANI" to result in their third-place finish, good for a payday of $3,614.

"COMEATTHEKING" showed {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a rivered pair of eights, which was no good to "BOONYANI's" {q-Spades}{9-Spades}, calling down two streets with top pair to earn them a pot to bring them over 2 million.

"COMEATTHEKING" showed {k-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for the six-high straight and "BOONYANI" mucked, earning "COMEATTHEKING" the pot and the sizeable chip lead as three-handed play is now well underway.

In Level 30 with blinds of 30,000/60,000 and an ante of 7,500, "BOONYANI" raised to 120,000 in the cutoff and received calls from "sri100k" on the button and "COMEATTHEKING" in the big blind.

The flop came {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and "COMEATTHEKING" checked. "BOONYANI" made a continuation-bet of 210,000 and got a fold from "sri100k" and a call from "COMEATTHEKING."

Action was then heads up to the turn {10-Clubs} and "COMEATTHEKING" checked. "BOONYANI" shoved for 1.3 million, roughly one-and-a-half times the size of the pot, and "COMEATTHEKING" immediately called all in for 146,000 less.

"COMEATTHEKING": {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
"BOONYANI": {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

"BOONYANI" had run their kings into a turned straight and they were drawing dead to the river {a-Hearts}, leaving them with just 146,000 behind. However, they found two doubles since and chipped back up to just under 1 million as "sri100k" has fallen to below 10 big blinds.
