"Homie Sr" Races Well

"Homie Sr"
"Homie Sr"

In Level 13 with blinds of 600/1,200 and an ante of 150, "Jonny LeGOAT" raised to 2,400 in early position and "Homie Sr" re-jammed for 24,650 on their direct left. "BANGERRRRR" cold-called in the cutoff and all remaining players folded.

"Homie Sr": {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
"BANGERRRRR": {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The two were off to the races with "BANGERRRRR" barely ahead. They stayed there on the flop {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} despite percentages roughly flipping. However, the turn {6-Hearts} gave "Homie Sr" the nut flush to leave "BANGERRRRR" drawing dead to the river {3-Diamonds}, resulting in "Homie Sr" earning the double.

"ChucKnDucK1020" Delivers a Knockout Blow

In Level 8 with blinds of 250/500 and an ante of 60, "Schrob30" open-limped in the hijack and "orionguide108" limped behind in the ;co. Action folded around to the big blind, where "ChucKnDucK1020" checked their option to see three-way action to a flop of {5-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

"ChucKnDucK1020" checked and "Schrob30" made a bet of 2,500 into the pot of 2,290. "orionguide" clicked it back, raising the minimum to 5,000 and then "ChucKnDucK1020" check-three-bet-jammed for 22,200. "Schrob30" folded and "orionguide108" called off their remaining 8,600.

"orionguide108": {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}
"ChucKnDucK1020": {5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

"orionguide" had gotten it in with top pair versus bottom two pair and was unable to improve as the turn {3-Spades} and river {2-Spades} came to finish the runout, leaving them dry on chips as the pot was shipped to "ChucKnDucK1020".

"Schrob30"
"Schrob30"

In Level 7 with blinds of 200/400 and an ante of 50, "TABLECAPTAINNN" pumped it up to 1,000 in early position received a call from "Schrob30" in the cutoff. "SleazyAmishGirl" three-bet to 4,400 in the small blind and "TABLECAPTAINNN" four-bet jammed for 24,800. "Schrob30" called all in for 17,000 and "SleazyAmishGirl" got out of their way to result in the two remaining players' hands being turned up for the runout.

"Schrob30": {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
"TABLECAPTAINNN": {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

"Schrob30" had gotten all of their chips in with the best hand without ever needing to raise. They then saw "TABLECAPTAINNN" pull ahead with a flopped set on {7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, but were saved on the turn {k-Diamonds} and faded the one outer on the river {10-Clubs} to have the pot sent their way.

Get to Know Inaugural Pennsyl-MANIA Champ Dillon “D-Low1527” Longenbach

Dillon “D-Low1527” Longenbach
Dillon “D-Low1527” Longenbach

Back in May, the inaugural $200 buy-in Pennsyl-MANIA had a $250,000 guarantee, which is crushed by drawing 2,774 entries (1,760 unique + 1,014 re-entries) and generating a $515,964 prize pool. Coming out on top of that tournament was Dillon “D-Low1527” Longenbach, who secured $69,670.79 after a heads-up deal with “justbuy44”, who took $58,175.62 in prize money.

“It is honestly surreal and very humbling it still has not fully sunk in,” Longenbach told PokerNews after winning the largest online poker tournament ever held in Pennsylvania. “A lot of people told me I was wasting my time focusing so much energy on poker but nobody is saying that now so it really validated all the work I have been putting in to become a better player.”

Longenbach a PA Superstar

Longenbach grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and graduated in 2012 from Council Rock North High School.

“I was not what you would call a star student so I decided against pursuing further education,” he said. “I started working in the warehouse at a small equipment company Springer Pumps, LLC. at the age of 19 and have been there since eventually working my up to Warehouse manager and inside sales.”

Longenbach, who had two brothers and a sister, has squeezed in poker in between work and time with his girlfriend of three years.

“I was about 10 years old when Chris Moneymaker won the WSOP and I started playing with my dad and friends shortly after. I eventually started playing on sites such partypoker at the young age of 11-12 years old. I can still remember sitting in my father’s living room with sunglasses on to play online poker. I thought I was a big shot. Eventually, I stopped playing for many years and focused on sports before rekindling my love of poker about 3-4 years ago.”

Q&A w/ Longenbach

PokerNews: Can you tell us a little about the PokerStars Pennsyl-MANIA tournament back in May?

Longenbach: The first Pennsyl-MANIA was awesome. It was a great tournament with a great structure. I enjoyed the longer levels of 20 minutes as most PokerStars PA tournaments have short levels between 8-12 minutes. I actually only had three big blinds left when we made it to the money. At that point, I was just happy to make it to the money and figured I would be eliminated shortly after before winning a handful of flips and somehow battling back to a playable stack for Day 2.

Another crazy part of the tournament that will stick with me is the botched deal at the final table. I was sitting in third place with five people left and we all agreed to make a deal. The deal would have seen me get $40K but because a few players were having technical difficulties we couldn't complete the deal. When play resumed I went on a tear eliminating the last four people to claim the title and top prize. I have had some other small tournament wins and final tables but nothing anywhere close to this size!

Any plans for the money?

My only plans with the money at this point is to make a down payment on my first home with Shelby, my longtime girlfriend. Other than that, nothing planned at the moment. I do plan on playing more events and look forward to playing some more live events once live poker makes its return.

What do you think helped propel you to the big win?

I have a group of friends we like to call ourselves "Team No Tilt" as we motivate each other to always work on our mental game and not let our emotions factor into our play. They always help in the inspiration and motivation department. Once the tournament was announced it was a no brainier to enter and I have the bankroll for the event so there was no need to play any satellites.

Do you ever play live poker?

Yes, I use to play a ton of live poker mostly cash games at Parx Casino. I have actually only played a handful of live tournaments as I did not really have the proper bankroll until recently to play the tournaments I would have liked. I will 100% be playing a ton of live events once they return. While online poker is great and I enjoy it, nothing compares to sitting at the table and being able to get a live read on someone.

What is the story behind your screenname “D-Low1527”?

My nickname since I was a young kid as always been “DLow” and my two favorite numbers are 15 and 27, so I figured it would make a good screen name.

Chip Leaders on Break

The number of entries in the tournament has risen to 159 with 133 players currently remaining midway through Level 6 (175/350/45) as the tournament reaches its first break of the evening. "AndrewYang2020" is on top of the counts with a stack of 98,200.
