    Kenneth Damm Wins Event #5: $550 Tony G Celebrity Shootout with Bounties ($26,583)

    After an entertaining two days of poker saw 239 players head for the exit as Kenneth Damm was left as the final man standing.

    Kenneth emerged from the hype of yesterday's action to be amongst the chip leaders towards the end of the day and carried that form into today's final table. The youngster was able to overcome the experience of Vito Montalto and Sam Khouiss in a fierce heads up battle to capture the final bounty of the tournament. He adds that $500 to the $26,583 first place prize, and of course the coveted trophy.

    That wraps up our coverage from Event #5 of the PokerNews Cup Championships but stay tuned to PokerNews.com as the $550 6-Handed No Limit Holdem event continues this evening as it reaches an exciting conclusion!

    Damm Extends Lead

    Kenneth Damm completed from the small blind and Sam Khouiss checked his option in the big blind.

    The flop landed {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and Khouiss called the 40,000 chip bet from Damm. The turn was the {4-Hearts} and both players checked.

    The river was the {7-Clubs} and Khouiss fired 40,000 which was called by Damm. Khouiss tabled {K-?}{5-?} for top pair but Damm had rivered two pair with his {Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} to extend his chip advantage.

    Damm Does It On River

    Sam Khouiss raised to 60,000 from the button and Kenneth Damm made the call in the big blind.

    The flop landed {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts} and both players checked. The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and Damm checked to Khouiss who bet out for 30,000. Damm made the call.

    The river was the {3-Diamonds} and this time Damm took the lead and bet out for 60,000. Khouiss tanked for several minutes before giving up his hand.

    Sam Khouiss opened with a raise to 70,000 from the button before Kenneth Damm moved all in! Khouiss went into the tank before eventually folding {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades} face up.

    Damm Not Flushed Just Yet

    Kenneth Damm raised to 80,000 from the button and Sam Khouiss defended his big blind.

    They went to the flop of {5-Spades}{J-Spades}{8-Spades} where both players checked. The turn was another spade with the {3-Spades} putting a four-card flush on board. Khouiss led out for 50,000 and Damm made the call.

    The river was the {9-Diamonds} and both players slowed down and checked.

    Interestingly neither player couldn't produce a spade with Damm's {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} good to collect the pot as Khouiss mucked.

    Damm now sits with a 700,000 to 500,000 chip advantage over Khouiss.

    Khouiss Turns Two Pair

    In another limped pot, the two players saw a flop of {5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} where Sam Khouiss check-called the 30,000 chip bet from Kenneth Damm.

    The turn {3-Clubs} and river {2-Hearts} were checked down as Damm tabled {2-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for a missed flush draw with bottom pair, as Khouiss collects the pot with {3-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for two pair.
