It's Time to Crack Some Skulls, Bounty Style!
Welcome to the 2011 North American Poker Tour Mohegan Sun $10,000 High Roller Bounty Shootout. Kicking off first is Flight A, which consists of the first four eight-handed tables as you can see below in the posted table and seat draw. Originally, this event was capped at 81 players, but it looks like that cap has been decreased to 72 players. Four of the tables will be in action on this flight and the second flight will have the remaining five tables. The second flight is scheduled for 7:00 PM EST.
This flight's feature table consists of a few big names. Team PokerStars Pros Vanessa Rousso (USA) and David Williams (USA) are both on the feature table. They'll be joined by Dwyte Pilgrim and Michael Pesek, among a few others. We all know Williams and Pilgrim like to chat a bit at the table, so it should make for some good coverage.
Also in action early on are Matt Glantz, Scott Seiver, Melanie Weisner, Dan O'Brien, Eugene Katchalov and Nick Schulman. It's interesting that back in the $100,000 Super High Roller at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, Schulman and Katchlov both made the final table and finished in the top four. What makes it so interesting is that they are best friends, but had to play against each other. Here again today, they're starting at the table table and could be in line to knock one another out.
Play is scheduled to start up shortly, but we're still waiting on a few of the players to arrive. Poker players aren't the most punctual bunch of people on the planet, but be sure to stay tuned as the action will kick off shortly!

Vo Gives One Up to DeGilio
Level 1
: 100/200, 25 ante

The flop came down 
and Vo checked. DeGilio bet 1,650 and Kohlberg folded. Vo made the call.

Structure Information
Level 2
: 200/400, 50 ante
The structure for the High Roller Bounty Shootout has been reworked a bit and is faster that it has been before. The levels are only 30 minutes in length for the first round and as you can see by the blind jump, some levels have been removed. Combine this with the $2,000 bounty on everyone's head and the play should go pretty quick.

: 200/400, 50 ante
