No Bounty for Shiva This Time
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
We get to the table with over 175,000 in the pot and the board reading 
. Olivier Correge from France is all in for 67500 and Shiva Ramnath is contemplating whether to call or not. Olivier is looking directly at Shiva, with a very confident look and posture. Ramnath makes the call with 
for an open ended straight draw and a flush draw. A grimace came over Correge's face despite having the best of it with 
as he knew Shiva had a ton of outs to send him to the rail.
The river was the 
and Olivier scores a huge double up to move over 300,000 in chips while Ramnath takes a big hit and is down to 139,000.

Hip-Hip Ho-ran!
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
After winning what appears to be a 300,000-chip pot, eliminating Bart Dowling, Bob Horan is far and away our chip leader here in Event 2: $550 Black-Chip Bounty NLHE Reentry.
When we arrived at the table, Horan was scooping the pot and the dealer was washing the board. According to the players at the table, Horan flopped a set of threes against Dowling's top pair with a flush draw.
Horan was apologizing to the table for tanking even though he had a very strong hand.
"I thought he had a set of eights," he admitted.
Dowling was unable to complete his flush draw or hit running cards, and is eliminated shy of the money. Horan has what looks like 370,000 chips.

Wight Out
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
Faced with a raise to 10,000 and a call from Herald Barber, Pauline Wightman moved all in for 22,000. The original raiser re-raised to 50,000, and Barber folded.
Wightman: 
Opponent: 
The flop fell 
, giving Wightman a gut-shot straight draw to go with her two overs, and the 
on the turn gave her a leading pair of kings. The 
on the river was an insignificant card, and Wightman more than doubled to 60,000 chips.
Barber has chipped up recently, and has 216,000.

Shiva the Bounty Hunter
Level 16
