Seiver Locks Up First Half of Bounty Prize

[user140525]

After eliminating Faraz Jaka, Scott Seiver has eight scalps on his belt. Hoyt Corkins and Joe Cassidy each have four. We have been informed that the winner of this final table will get a point for keeping their own bounty. That means Corkins or Cassidy could tie Seiver if one of them eliminates all three of their opponents.

Faraz Jaka Eliminated in 5th Place ($95,000)

donpeters

Action folded over to Faraz Jaka in the small blind and he moved all in. Scott Seiver made the call from the big blind and tabled the {A-Clubs}

. Jaka held the {Q-Spades}

and was live. Jaka was the shorter stack.

The flop was huge for Seiver when the {A-Hearts}

fell. By picking up a flush draw, Jaka lost a couple outs.

The turn was the {A-Diamonds}

and officially ended things for Jaka. As he shook the hands of the remaining four players, the {2-Hearts}

completed the board on the river.

Jaka took home $75,000 for his win on Tuesday and also added four $5,000 bounties to that for a total of $95,000 that he'll take home.
