Nine-High Like a Boss
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
On arrival at the table, the board read Q♠5♦9♦8♣. Moreno Plozza had pushed all in on the flop, and gotten called by both Florian Montes and William Kassouf. On the turn, Montes checked to Kassouf, who bet out a bet of 100,000, barely enough to put Montes all-in.
Montes thought about it for a bit but eventually sighed and folded. The other two players tabled their cards
Moreno Plozza: A♥Q♦
William Kassouf: 8♥9♠
Kassouf uttered his obligatory ''nine-high like a boss'' line, whereto Plozza responded: ''You have no right to complain about luck''. Kassouf's two pair held on the 4♠ river and Plozza threw his bounty chip to Kassouf across the table.
He left while stating several more times that Kassouf should never complain again, before he concluded: ''Nice play''.

Zhewen Hu: 3♥3♣
Kent Roed: A♥A♣
Roed looked set to claim a bounty with his pocket aces, until the board ran out 6♠8♠7♠6♦3♦ to give Hu a set of threes on the river. He doubled up and stayed in the game.

Aurelien Russo Pulls First €100,000 Bounty
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
During the break, an ear-deafening yell could be heard coming from the bounty desk. Upon investigation, it became evident that the culprit was Aurelien Russo , who had one of two €100,000 bounties in his hand.
Russo, who came in 29th place during the EPT Paris Main Event earlier this year, has just over €100,000 in recorded lifetime earnings. A massive score for the Frenchman, who just gained a huge bankroll boost.
