Value hunters, rejoice! 888poker is bringing back its Knockout Games Series, and this year’s headline act is a $109 buy-in, rakeless $200K GTD Main Event.
The Knockout Games run November 14–18, with daily events starting at just a few dollars and plenty of bounty-laden action throughout the week. With over $500,000 in prizes up for grabs, players can expect a week packed with knockouts, mystery bounties, and huge paydays.
The players have been sent on another break of 15 minutes.
Gary Carter was down to just a few big blinds, which he committed under the gun. Dale Wilson called in the cutoff, and Richard Horton did so in the big blind.
Horton and Wilson checked through the K♦2♠Q♦ flop and A♠ turn, leading to the Q♣ river. Horton bet 10,000, showing Q♠8♠ when Wilson had added his cards to the muck.
Carter was forced to table his 7♥5♠ before he wished his former tablemates good luck and headed out.

In a pot of 9,800, Alejandro Sanchez got his remaining 15,000 in from the big blind on a 9♠Q♥4♣ flop. Harish Sahnan quickly looked him up, revealing the cards.
Alejandro Sanchez: 10♣9♣
Harish Sahnan: 10♠10♦
Sanchez's pair of nines was in dire shape against the tens of Sahnan, and the 4♦8♠ runout confirmed his exit from the Main Event.
