"pariszoo11" Takes Event #11-H: $2,000 NLHE (8-Max, High Roller), $100K GTD Title After Nine-Way Deal
The biggest buy-in on the PokerStars Pennsylvania Spring Championship of Online Poker docket, Event #11-H: $2,000 NLHE (8-Max, High Roller), $100K GTD was a hotly contested affair, as 43 players and their 10 re-entries cooked up a $100,700 prize pool, barely surpassing the $100,000 guarantee put up by PokerStars.
Once the final table of nine was set, players elected to look at the ICM numbers and went with a nine-way chop, giving every player a healthy chunk of the prize pool, while setting $2,000 aside for the eventual champion. Forty quick minutes later, "pariszoo11" was the last player standing, earning a total of $16,970.31 between the deal and the first-place prize.
Four other players managed to hit the five-figure score amount, including runner-up "doubtfire1951", Andrew "and_porter" Porter, "iamafarmer", and "dabigquk1", the latter of which managed to make their way into this tourney for just $200. Not to be outdone, "Mr. Robter" earned a ticket through a $100 satellite and managed to make just over 91 times their investment. "CallYourMommy", Simon "Sleevy" Levy and "5BetBill" were the other three players earning a payday.

Action of the Day
The action started with sixteen players in their seats, seeking high roller glory, and Simon "Sleevy" Levy and "nansmasher69" started the day off hot. By the time the field had fleshed out to over six tables, "lilholdem952" and Andrew "and_porter" Porter were holding big stacks, while "nansmasher" cooled off and busted just after registration closed.
Other players who fell before the final table include Aubrey "RiverMeDaddy" Williams, Ron "AllinWithAJoff" Gallagher, and Brett "Homie Sr" Freiler.
"lilholdem951", Porter, and "doubtfire1951" all swapped the chip lead from three tables until the field shrunk down to ten, when "lilholdem951" got their last chips in with ace-six, but Porter was waiting with a pair of tens, and when the board failed to improve "lilholdem951", the field shrunk to nine and the ICM deal came a short time later.
