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.
