Just before the break Tristan Wade was gifted some chips by his neighbor. We picked up the action on the 
flop where Wade was facing a 525-chip bet. His response was to raise enough to put his opponent all-in for his remaining 3,100. He took a while before calling with 
for second pair. Wade tabled 
and faded any nasty out to move up to 13,000 in chips.

We wandered past Randy Dorfman's table a couple of times and within a couple of minutes he ran into pocket-aces twice. The first hand saw him lost a large portion of his stack holing 
. When we strolled past his table just a minute or so later, Dorfman's cards were in the muck and his opponent's 
were on show while another portion of Dorfman's stack went in the wrong direction.

David Vamplew has doubled to 13,700 after slow playing aces. We picked up the action on the turn where the board read 
. Vamplew was in the small blind and led for 700. Call. The river came 
and the Scotsman led for 1,575 and called all-in for 5,525 when shoved on.
He tabled 
for top set, besting his collared opponent’s 
for second set. He was then told, “You know you didn’t have to play it cute pre flop.”

Jason Koon is down to 8,000 chips after hitting a flush-under-flush. He three-bet with 
and was called to a 
flop. His opponent check-called with 
, before check-raising all-in on the 
turn. Koon called and mucked his hand before the river came 
.
No one at the table would have had any sympathy for him as they all want his $1,000 bounty.
Level: 5
Blinds: 100/200
Ante: 25
JP Kelly has just tweeted the advantages of being a bounty player.
"Advantages of being a bounty....just got 24 bb shove called by 67s, had KQ back to start stack :)"
