Dardon Sends Rakitzis to the Rail

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

George Rakitzis opened to 9,000 in middle position and Osmin Dardon three-bet to 29,000 on his left. The action folded back to Rakitzis who ripped all in for 126,000. Dardon shrugged his shoulders as he moved the rest of his chips in the middle as well.

George Rakitzis: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Osmin Dardon: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The flop of {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{6-Hearts} was safe for Dardon who had Rakitzis drawing to just a single out. The {4-Diamonds} and {7-Diamonds} runout changed nothing and Rakitzis was eliminated.

On March 2, a day after he finished in third place for $54,193 in the $3,000 NLH 6-Max $200K GTD event, Belgium’s Michael Gathy bested a 148-entry field to win the $3,000 NLH Progressive Bounty, which more than doubled its $200K guarantee with a $407,000 prize pool.

The top 16 finishers made the money including Aaron Duczak (10th - $6,138), Martin Jacobson (11th - $6,138), Dylan Linde (12th - $5,374), Tongguang Sun (13th - $5,374), Nicholas Bond (14th - $4,760), Katie Lindsay (15th - $2,380), and Ryan Leng (16th - $2,380).

Among those at the final table were Bin Weng (9th - $7,081), Ethan “Rampage” Yau (7th - $9,842), and Alex Foxen (4th - $20,202). After Leonard August bowed out in third place for $29,526, the final two players saw each lock up $62,368, but the winner would get the hefty PKO bounty. Ryan McAllister took second place while Gathy took first and the trophy.

Yang Hits a Two-Outer on the River

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

There was a raise in early position and Jason DeWitt three-bet to 20,000 in the hijack. Thao Yang just called from the cutoff and Daniel Jones shipped all in for a little over 100,000 in the small blind. The action folded back to Yang who asked for a count before calling off his last 72,000 chips.

Thao Yang: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Daniel Jones: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Jones held the superior pocket pair and things were looking clean on the {k-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} runout. However, the {10-Clubs} on the river gave Yang a set of tens and Jones was left with around 10 big blinds.
