Event #7: PKO 6-Max NLH

Day 1 Completed

Congratulations to "kgkg510", Winner of the $20,000 PKO Guaranteed Event!

The biggest event of the partypoker US Network Players Choice Series so far is now in the books, and in the end, it was "kgkg510" who took home over $14,000 in prize earnings total, after putting on a knockout clinic at the final table. "kgkg510" started the final table near the bottom of the pile, with experienced pro Michael "miw210x" Wang holding a massive chip lead.

He would increase that chip lead with the first knockout of the final table, but everything would fall apart from there. Wang would end up on the wrong end of several double ups, including one for the eventual winner, where he would spike a two outer on the turn to double.

Eventually, Wang would bust out in fifth place, when his top pair on the flop failed to hold up against the big draw of "Monkee."

It was at this point that "kgkg510" would take over for the rest of the event. First, he scored the knockout of "maniacalmonk" with pocket kings. Just a few hands later, "mia1223" would hit the rail, once again courtesy of "kgkg510".

Heads up play wouldn't last too long, with "kgkg510" finishing the tournament off by winning a coin flip. Check out the final table results below.

"Monkee" Eliminated in 2nd Place ($7,237.92+ $2,285.93 in bounties)

Blinds: 100,000/200,000

"Monkee" was down to his final three million when he got it in preflop holding {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. He was flipping against the {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} of "kgkg510", and the mid pair would hold true, despite the scaring looking board of {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

"Monkee" will take home just over $9,500 for his efforts, but "kgkg510" will earn $7,246 for first place, along with a whopping $6,834 in bounties, nearly doubling his overall total earnings to $14,080.

Stay tuned for a full recap of the event.

"mia1223" Eliminated in 3rd Place ($4,080 + $1,098.44 in bounties)

Blinds: 100,000/200,000

The latest all in was a classic coin flip, as "mia1223" was at risk with {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} against the {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} of "kgkg510." The flop of {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} gave "kgkg510" some more outs, as a king or ten would do now as well. The {3-Hearts} on the turn changed nothing, but the {10-Hearts} on the river changed everything, counterfeiting the midpair of "mia1223."

This leaves us heads up, with "kgkg510" holding a nice chip advantage.

"maniacalmonk" Eliminated in 4th Place ($2,774.40 + $718.45 in bounties)

Blinds: 90,000/180,000

In a battle of the blinds, "kgkg510" and "maniacalmonk" would get all of the latter's chips in the middle. He held {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, but was well behind the pocket kings of "kgkg510." The flop of {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} gave "maniacalmonk" a glimmer of hope, but the turn and river would bring no more help.

With that, just three players remain!

Michael "miw210x" Wang Eliminated in 5th Place ($2,040 + $2,440.63 in bounties)

Michael Wang
Michael Wang

Blinds: 90,000/180,000

There was already over a million in the middle when the flop came down {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Wang checked to "Monkee", who bet 1.4 million. Wang shoved all in for about 3 million, and "Monkee" called to create a massive pot.

Wang: {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
"Monkee": {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

"Monkee" had an over card and a flush draw, and the over card would come right on the turn to give him the lead. The {10-Diamonds} river sealed the hand, and "Monkee" now has seven million.

Michael "miw210x" Wang Gets Short, Then Doubles Up

Blinds: 90,000/180,000

Action folded to Michael "miw210x" Wang in the small blind, and he moved all in, having "mia1223" covered in the big blind. He called with {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, and he was well ahead of the {q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} of Wang. A king came right on the flop, and Wang was drawing dead by the turn.

That dropped Wang down to just two million, and he would get it in on the next hand with {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. He was up against the {k-Spades}{9-Spades} of "kgkg510", and the board would come down {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, keeping the ace high of Wang in the lead.

"mia1223" Doubles Through "kgkg510"

Blinds: 80,000/160,000

After a raise from "kgkg510", "mia1223" moved all in with {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. He was dominated by the pocket aces of "kgkg510", but the script was flipped after the flop came down {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. No ace would come on the turn or river, and "mia1223" was able to double up to nearly 3,400,000.

"kgkg510" Doubles Through Wang

Blinds: 70,000/140,000

"kgkg510" and Michael "miw210x" Wang got into a raising ware preflop that saw the last of "kgkg510"'s three million get into the middle with pocket tens. He was racing against the {a-Spades}{q-Spades} of Wang, and he would shoot out to the lead on the flop of {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{9-Hearts}. However, the {10-Diamonds} would come on the turn, and just like that, Wang was nearly drawing dead. No jack on the river meant that "kgkg510" would double up into the chip lead.

Wang Shoves The Turn

Blinds: 70,000/140,000

"Monkee" has had chip leader Michael "miw210x" Wang's number for most of the final table, but Wang just got a nice chunk of that back in this pot. After Wang raised to 255,000, "Monkee" reraised to a million. Wang called, and the flop came down {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. "Monkee" continued for 960,000, Wang called, and the {10-Diamonds} hit the turn.

After "Monkee" checked, Wang moved all in for 3.3 million. "Monkee" barely had him covered, and he thought for quite a bit before ultimately folding, giving the chip lead back to Wang.
