"gisappak" has just won the partypoker US Network Online Series Event #9: $15,000 GTD NLH for $5,246 in commanding style. The $215 buy-in event drew 86 entries to generate a prize pool of $17,200, with the top 10 players finding a payday.

An hour later as the late registration was about to close, they had ascended the rungs of the leader board and became chip leader. The field was cut in half within 20 minutes of the registration period closing, and "gisappak" entered hand-for-hand play with an even bigger chip lead.

Event #6 Winner COMEATTHEKING found themselves eliminated on the bubble in 11th place, to result in all 10 remaining players making it into the money. "jjtes" then fell in 10th place ($473) on the final table bubble and to bring about the final table of nine.

Event #4 Final Table Results

The Path To the Top

"JoeRossi" and Alex "JinYang" Butcher fell shorty after the final table was reached when "JoeRossi" saw their kings cracked all-in preflop and then Butcher saw his aces cracked in the same fashion. Seven then remained, and "gisappak" eclipsed 1 million after knocking out "chromeking" with pocket queens to ace-jack on a jack-high board.

Six players quickly became three after "gisappak" knocked out "bigcakes1" in sixth and followed it up with a double-knockout of "BigDickRick" and "rounder1420" when their tens held up against their unpaired hands. Forty minutes then went by before "gisappak" knocked out "MistaMenza" in third place, and they proceeded to run the table with a quick heads-up match that was punctuated with an all-in preflop situation that left second-place finisher "Core4" drawing dead by the turn, having no sweat whatsoever to seal the victory and earn a payday of more than $5,000 for their efforts.
