The partypoker US Network Progressive Knockout (PKO) Bounty Online Series came to a close Sunday night with the $535 buy-in $100K GTD PKO 8-Max Main Event, which ended after just under nine hours of play. The highly anticipated Main Event drew 311 runners, which created a $155,500 prize pool, and when the dust had settled it was Ryan “TheSims” Hohner reigning supreme, taking home $28,438 for his victory.
Hohner, who back in December won the Player's Choice Series Event #5: $7,500 GTD PKO Bounty, started the final table second on the leaderboard and played a pretty conservative style, patiently waiting for optimal spots and one presented itself when he took a lead-changing pot from Chris “rumpthumper” White, who ran their ace-jack into the Big Slick of Hohner.
