Kempe Busto But Fires Five Bounties

Toogood32

Level 31 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Rainer Kempe busted Event #68, but he still had five bounties to claim.

Four of the bounties were the minimum $1,000 but luckily, in a sense, Kempe hit the chest and went up to try it luck. With the current prizes left, Kempe had around a 1 in 3 chance of pulling a $50,000 or $100,000 bounty from the chest, but he got $25,000. Still, $29,000 in bounties is still a very respectable showing for the German crusher.

NicholasBaltz

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Daniel De Almeida just got a whole lot richer thanks to a little mystery bounty luck.

First, De Almeida hit the gold chest and picked the $100,000 ticket, much to the enjoyment of his brother
Caio De Almeida. He then drew another gold chest on the very next bounty ticket a few seconds later.

That ticket was worth $25,000 and amazingly both players remain in the tournament with 71 left.

Player	Chips	Progress
Daniel De Almeida	10,550,000 10,550,000	10,550,000
Caio De Almeida	10,000,000 1,500,000	1,500,000
