Event Info
Dan “mj23style” Sewnig just emerged victorious in Event #11: $20,000 GTD NLH of the partypoker US Network Online Series after topping a field of 47 entrants in this $215 buy-in. For his efforts, the newly crowned winner took home a first-place prize of $8,000.
Once registration closed, Sewing was one of the shortest stacks but he went on a dominant run quickly after eventually taking a seat at the final table with the chip lead.
Although Michael "miw210x" Wang was responsible for most of the eliminations at the final table, Sewnig was slowly adding to his stack, and after eliminating Eric "alwaysliquid" Vanauken in third place, he found himself heads-up against Wang with the stacks being relatively even.
Wang managed to take the lead at the beginning of the match but that didn't last long as Sewnig found a crucial double to get back in the game. He started winning pot after pot to take over the lead and it was all over when Wang ran ace-queen into Sewnig's pair of jacks only to see Sewnig flop a set and win it all.
