The latest partypoker US Network Online Series wrapped up over the weekend. The 11-event New Jersey series catered to 1,534 entries and awarded $304,992 in prize money. On Sunday, it took just over nine hours for Matthew "gailums" Gailums to convert his $215 buy-in into more than $13K in the $215 Main Event NLH $75K GTD. He made his way through a field of 357 entries to take down the top prize.

The $13,515 first-place prize nearly doubles his previous best online score of $7,528 in a WSOP event earlier this year and is just shy of his best live score, $16,271 for third in a $300 event at World Poker Tour - WPT Borgata Open, Atlantic City.
