Event #10-H: $200 NLHE (Super Tuesday SE) $35K GTD
Day 1 Completed
It was Super Tuesday time for the PokerStars Pennsylvania Spring Championship of Online Poker, and Event #10-H: $200 NLHE (Super Tuesday SE), $35K GTD was a crowded affair. 178 players and 80 re-entries cooked up a $47,988 prize pool, and after five-and-a-half hours of play, including a turbo-charged final table, "RealizeRealLies" was the victor and took home $8,244.50 after a heads-up deal with runner-up "WHATWHYNO".
"WHATWHYNO", who took $7,882.71 out of the heads-up deal, was part of the reason the final table went so swiftly, as they took out five of the nine final table participants, including a double knockout of "MartyK7450" and "PurePleasure12" to bring the field down to three in a hurry.
"RealizeRealLies" then took the reins and finished off "dabigquk1" in third before waking up with kings and dispatching "WHATWHYNO" and their king-nine in second.

*denotes heads-up deal
Early in the day, names like "Quakers1991", "thpinal" and PokerStars Ambassador Jennifer "JenShahadePA" Shahade were near the top of the counts, while Aubrey "RiverMeDaddy" Williams and PokerStars Ambassador Mark "NaigoPA" Foresta couldn't get anything going.
"Quakers1991" and Shahade both fell before the money, however, and with only 35 players slated to get paid, it was "dirteharry503" who ended up as the unfortunate bubble in 36th. A flood of players then hit the rail with a cash, including "TurkTerminator" (24th - $526.80), "twinspinz" (30th - $442.80) and "Blu_PA" (33rd - $442.80).
The final two tables saw multiple notable names fall in quick succession; Damien "DamienSilks" Silks (11th - $745.61), Nick "cooooooch" Amicucci (12th - $745.61), and Ron "AllinWithAJoff" Gallagher (13th - $745.61) all fell in a short span, and "StarsID528" (10th - $745.61) was the final player to miss out on the final table.
