Stanton "Stonniepokes" Tentnowski Takes Down partypoker US Nework Players Series Event #4 for $8,580
Stanton "Stonniepokes" Tentnowski became the newest champion of the partypoker US Network Players Series Tuesday night after topping a field of 165 in Event #4: PLO 6-Max to claim the top prize of $8,580.
Featuring a $215 buyin, the tournament generated a total prize pool of $33,000. Over 100 players were already registered by the time play began, a number that would be solid on a Wednesday night even for a No-Limit Hold'em tournament.
That number climbed up to 165 over the two-and-a-half-hour late registration period, and that 165 eventually became just one when Tentnowski defeated Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell in a heads-up match that capped off a nearly two-hour-long final table.

In total, 18 players made it into the money. Other notables to walk away with some form of payday were Don "dhimp20" Himpele (11th place - $792) and Chris"rumpthumper" White (10th place - $792).
With such a large field, many more were left without chips long before the bubble burst. Some of those players included Anthony "Flawlessbinkage" Maio, Michael "miw210x" Wang, James "Bagels" Lillis, Matt "MattEMenz" Mendez, and Sridhar “sri100k” Sangannagari.
