WPT Online Poker Open Phased 8-Max $40K GTD
Day 1 Completed
Early Thursday morning, the World Poker Tour Online Poker Open powered by partypoker US Network wrapped up its series with the conclusion of the $215 buy-in Phased $40K GTD, a tournament that drew 278 entries and offered up a $57,084 prize pool.
The tournament started with 96 registered players, though that number steadily grew until the 278 total entries became official.
After registration closed the virtual bodies fell at a rapid pace and after a few short levels, "Samanthawins" was eliminated on the bubble, leaving the remaining players in the money.
From there, players started dropping by the wayside as Katie"KatieStone" Stone (40th place - $323.09), Jaime "mooseman1710" Reyes (31st Place - $365.33), Michael "ParxBigStax" Marder (23rd Place - $450.96), Eric “alwaysliquid” Vanauken (18th Place - $570.84), and Ted "roystalin" Ely (10th Place - $1,027.51) all got a piece of the pie but fell short of the making final table.

8 | Tony "Bond18" Dunst | $1,427.10 |
WPT Ambassador Tony "Bond18" Dunst was the first to bow in eighth place while the person who eliminated him"onoreally", followed shortly after in seventh place.
A few levels later, Alex "Hashtag_Hashtag" Rocha and his pocket queens fell in sixth place after "KingofNJ" flopped a set of nines. "beast801" was the next player to fall after they lost a race holding a pair of sixes against "Rtrin777" holding big slick.
"pokerman1" dropped next after they jammed their short stack in the middle preflop holding the better hand but was flushed out on the river by "Rtrin777". A few hands later saw "KingofNJ" take their exit in third place after they failed to connect on straight and flush draws.
The heads-up battle saw "KrookedTyrant" hold a 2:1 chip advantage but their aggression turned against them as they doubled-up "Rtrin777" within the first few hands and they couldn't gain any momentum from that point as they took home a second place finish.
In Level 33 (350,000/700,000/87,500), "KrookedTyrant" called off their remining stack on a completed board.
"KrookedTyrant" rolled over but it wasn't any good as "Rtrin777" showed to win the hand.
