Lillis Has The Best Of The Three

James Lillis
James Lillis

In Level 6 with blinds of 500/1,000 and an ante of 125, preflop action saw 8,600 go into the middle with three-way action between "chen718" in the big blind, James "Bagels" Lillis in the hijack, and "kevmo15", who was on the button.

"chen718" checked to put action on Lillis, who bet 3500. Both "kevmo15" and "chen718" called to bring the turn {3-Hearts}, and two checks put action onto "kevmo15", who bet 7,000. "kevmo15" and Lillis both called, and then action checked through the river {8-Hearts} to take the hand to showdown.

First to act, "chen718" showed {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a missed king-high flush draw. Lillis tabled {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a missed open-ended straight draw that rivered top pair, and "kevmo15" proceeded to muck thereafter to result in Lillis earning the pot of 40,000 with his rivered pair of eights.

"Core4" Delivers A Blow To The Chin

In Level 5 with blinds of 300/600 and an ante of 75, "Core4" opened in the hijack and was called by Cholie in the cutoff before Anthony "supremetny" Chin put in a three-bet on the button. The blinds folded and "Core4" four-bet jammed for 19,250. "Cholie" folded and Chin called.

"Core4": {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Anthony "supremetny" Chin: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

"Core4" needed to hit a nine and did just that on the flop {10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. They stayed ahead as the turn {4-Spades} and river {10-Spades} completed the runout, earning the double with a full house at Chin's expense.

Hagerty Avoids The Counterfeit

Ryan Hagerty

In Level 3 with blinds of 250/500 and an ante of 60, there was 13,300 in the middle on a board reading {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{a-Spades}{8-Hearts} with heads-up, blind-on-blind action. "BigBang" checked to Ryan "simlSgg" Hagerty, who bet 7,500 and received a call. The river fell {2-Spades} and "BigBang" checked to Hagerty again, who this time checked behind to take the hand to showdown.

"BigBang" showed {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for top pair, top kicker, and Hagerty bested it with {8-Spades}{4-Spades} for the flopped flush.

An Early Battle of the Blinds

Ryan Dodd
Ryan Dodd

In Level 2 with blinds of 200/400 and an ante of 60, action folded to Ryan "Whosyourdoddy" Dodd in the small blind and he completed. Stanton "Stonniepokes" Tentnowski was in the big blind and raised his option to 1,600, prompting a limp-reraise from Dodd to 5,600. Tentnowski called.

The flop dropped {4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Dodd made a continuation-bet of 4,800. Tentnowski called, bringing the turn {7-Clubs}. Dodd thought for a few moments and then shoved for 17,000. Tentnowski went into the tank, dipping into his time bank for a few moments before eventually finding a fold to earn Dodd the pot with his turn shove.

Four Tables To Start

Level 1 has begun with blinds of 150/300 and an ante of 40, and four tables are already in play as 19 players are registered and ready to go. That number is expected to grow as the two-and-a-half-hour late registration period continues.

Welcome To Event #5 of the partypoker US Network Online Series: $30K GTD PKO Bounty 6-Max

partypoker US BetMGM Borgata
partypoker US BetMGM Borgata

The stakes have been raised for Thursday night's partypoker US Network Online Series Event #5: $30K GTD PKO Bounty 6-Max, with a $320 buy-in that each player will have split 50/50 between the prize pool and a starting bounty atop their heads.

With the Progressive Knockout format, that starting bounty will be compounded every time a player earns a knockout, immediately receiving half of their opponent's bounty while having the other half added to their own total bounty value. The tournament will play six-handed, further adding to the potential action and ability to play for stacks.

All withinin the state of New Jersey may get in on the fun across the three platforms of partypoker US, Borgata Poker and BetMGM Poker.

Players receive 50,000 to start with blinds beginning at 150/300/40 and escalating every 10 minutes. Late registration with unilmited re-entries will remain open through Level 15 (2,500/5,000/625), closing at approximately 10:40 p.m. ET. Come Level 24 (12,000/24,000/3,000), levels will increase to 12 minutes apiece until a winner has been declared.

Monday's Event #2 was of similar stature, though with a smaller guarantee. In that event, Eric "alwaysliquid" Vanauken continued his partypoker US Network Online Series success, besting a field of 76 to earn $8,880 of the $22,800 overall prize pool.

Who will be the one to come out on top this time? Stay tuned to PokerNews to find out.
