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 their penultimate 15-minute break of Day 1d.
Joseph Phillips open-raised to 4,000 in late position, and Zhang Xuan called in the hijack. Gilbert Black then three-bet to 15,000 in the small blind, which Phillips four-bet to 40,000.
Xuan quickly mucked her cards, but Black came along to the 4♠6♠10♠ flop. He rechecked his cards before pushing all in, and Phillips snap-called for his stack of 41,000.
Joseph Phillips: A♠A♥
Gilbert Black: 8♠8♥
Black was heavily dominated as Phillips had the spades covered. The former chipleader was left unimproved on the K♣6♦ runout, doubling up Phillips and leaving Black with an average stack.
Button John Bousfield was all in on the 10♠Q♣4♥5♣ turn for 38,800, and was at risk against Shaun Williams in middle position.
John Bousfield: 4♦4♣
Shaun Williams: 9♥9♣
The 3♣ river remained clear of nines, securing the pot in Bousfield's favor.
After some preflop action, Mike Wilson was all in from the cutoff for 100,900, at risk against Rhys Keen in middle position.
Mike Wilson: A♠A♣
Rhys Keen: K♥K♦
Wilson's aces faced no threats on the 6♦10♣3♥2♥J♥ runout, and he doubled up to a stack of over 100 big blinds.
