Jaka's Chips Jacked

donpeters

After Ashton Griffin raised preflop, Faraz Jaka made the call from the big blind and the two players were off to a flop.

The flop came down {8-Clubs}

and Jaka checked. Griffin fired 12,200 and Jaka made the call. The turn added the {3-Diamonds}

to the board and Jaka checked again. Griffin kept firing away, making a bet of 29,000. Jaka called again and the two chip leaders went to a river with the pot swelling.

The final card on the board was the {6-Diamonds}

and Jaka went into the tank. After a minute or so, he put out a bet of 80,000. A short moment went by before Griffin announced that he was all in. Jaka went into the tank, knowing he'd be the player at risk if he made the call and could be eliminated because Griffin had more chips. Eventually, Jaka mucked his hand and sent the chips to Griffin. He's now one of the shortest stacks at the table while Griffin has widened his lead even more.

donpeters

Hoyt Corkins raised his button to 6,000 and Joe Cassidy defended from the big blind. The flop came down {8-Diamonds}

and Cassidy checked. Corkins bet 6,500 and Cassidy called.

The turn card added the {10-Spades}

to the board and Cassidy checked. This same line happened early with these two and this time Corkins opted not to fire. He checked behind where last time he fired the flop and turn to get a fold from Cassidy on the turn.

The river was the {10-Clubs}

and Cassidy fired 13,500. Corkins went into the tank while Cassidy sat motionless on the other side of the table. Eventually, Corkins made the call. Cassidy opened up the {9-Clubs}

for two pair, nines and tens, and Corkins mucked his hand.

Seiver Moves Further Ahead in the Bounty Race

[user140525]

Scott Seiver picked up his seventh bounty with his elimination of Peter Eastgate, extending his lead in the race for the $100,000 prize awarded to the player who takes out the most opponents. Joe Cassidy, Faraz Jaka, and Hoyt Corkins all have four. Since the winner of the final table earns their own $5,000 bounty but not an elimination to count toward the bounty race, there are only five bounties remaining.

Either Cassidy, Jaka, or Corkins will have to earn four of the five to overtake Scott or three to tie with him and chop the $100,000. Brett Richey has three and can overtake Seiver only if he eliminates everyone else at the table. If Ashton Griffin picks up all of the remaining bounties, he can only tie Seiver.
