The WPT Online Borgata Series Event #6: $20K GTD Six-Max NLH came to an end early Saturday morning with "PipthqueakAA" running their way to the finish line defeating "treetrap heads-up for the first-place prize of $13,328.
The sixth event saw 77 players start the tournament with that number steadily increasing throughout the registration period as "PipthqueakAA" outlasted a field of 280 entries at $215 apiece.
The 280 total entries generated a total prize pool of $56,000 that would be paid out to the top 30 players.
Once registration ended, only 74 players remained and that number quickly dwindled as "brogna2phi" bubbled the tournament at the start of Level 22, leaving the remaining players in the money.
From there, players started dropping by the wayside as Derek "pompii" Sudell (26th place - $616), Alex ��JinYang�� Butcher (25th Place - $616), Yong "IReadYrSoul" Kwon (24th Place - $672), James "Bagels" Lillis (23rd Place - $672), Dan ��mj23style�� Sewing (18th Place - $756), Ryan ��simlSgg�� Hagerty (17th Place - $756), Michael "miw210x" Wang (13th Place - $756), John "Slapshot1085" Forlenza (12th Place - $952) and Josh ��layitdown08�� Rothberg (7th Place - $1,848) all got a piece of the pie but fell short of the making final table.
