On Sunday night, the partypoker US Online Network PKO Series wrapped with the conclusion of the Phase Multi-Flight $75,000 GTD Main Event. Players had qualified all week long via $35 buy-in qualifier flights, and there was to be a $320 direct buy option for Day 2. However, a software glitch at the start prevented the expected late registration period, meaning only 79 players got in.
By the time the error was discovered, play was well underway, so the partypoker US officials opted to continue the tournament as was, and given there was only $27,604 in collected buy-ins, those players enjoyed a juicy overlay thanks to the $75,000 guarantee. Not only that, because the usual payout structure remained in place, everyone in the tournament received a minimum payout of $218.
After six and a half hours of six-handed play, "pay4medsch00l" emerged victorious to claim the title and $13,597.50 first-place prize.

Others to cash the tournament were "monge" (7th - $2,363), Brian "TopCreature" Sherrier (9th - $1,275), "Allyoucaneat" (17th - $660), BorgataPoker.com Ambassador Michael "Gags30" Gagliano (22nd - $488), Clayton "claytonfletcher" Fletcher (25th - $413), Mike "MistaMenzer" Menzer (45th - $300), Ryan "Whosyourdoddy" Dodd (52nd - $270), and Daniel "leinad" Buzgon (68th - $233).
At the final table, "pay4medsch00l" got to work with five left, which is when they picked up two black nines and held against ace-eight suited to send Anthony "Flawlessbinkage" Maio out the door. "pay4medsch00l" then began using the big stack to their advantage by moving all-in frequently to put the smaller stack to big ICM decisions. Eventually "IReadYrSoul" dispatched "ELITEMALESSO" in fourth place, and then "pay4medsch00l" woke up with aces to eliminate "IReadYrSoul," who check-jammed after flopping middle pair.
"pay4medsch00l" began heads-up play with a big lead and closed it out after calling "Ozzy_Rocks111's" three-barrel bluff.
