Mutiny on the Bounty

Tony G has now been moved next door to fellow bounty Erich Kollmnann, who has, naturally, been embraced with the most welcome of arms by a salivating table.

Of course, complications could ensue, so the TD was on hand to clarify matters, stating that a bounty couldn't prosper from another bounty's exit, and that if one were to eliminate the other, their bounty would increase to €500.

Vos Doubles Up Again

Mark Vos' tournament life was on the line once more, this time in great shape with {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} against Jurriaan Sarink's {Q-Clubs} {J-Spades}.

Board: {7-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {A-Spades}

Vos: "Wheee!"

Up to the heady heights of 4,600.

One Down, Two to Go

Casualty No. 1
Casualty No. 1
We have lost our first bounty player in the shape of Erich Kollmann.

The rule concerning bounty-versus-bounty confrontations did not in the end have to be called in to use, as Kollmann was up against Thomas Hammerl, all in on an {8-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} flop.

Kollmann: {9-Clubs} {9-Spades}
Hammerl: {J-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}

Turn: {8-Diamonds}
River: {5-Hearts}

Thus Mr Hammerl was up €250 while Mr Kollmann wandered off and started to take photos of those still in the game.
