H-106: $5,250 Bounty Hunters Main Event

Day 1 Started

One of the Biggest Nights of the Year on GGPoker is Here!

Millions in guarantees are on the line on Super Sunday of the GG Spring Festival, with the two headliner events with $12M in guarantees alone between them continuing later tonight. PokerNews will be your one-stop shop on Sunday as we'll be bringing you live coverage from five different events.

First up is an event that certainly qualifies as more than just an appetizer, as the H-106: $5,250 Bounty Hunters Main Event will see some of the best duke it out to capture the biggest slice of the $1.5M guaranteed prize pool that's attached to this one.

The guaranteed seven figs are sure to attract plenty of notables, and many of them are already in for an early start to try and accumulate as many bounties as they can. That bounty part is big, too, as $2.5K of the $5K buy-in will be on everyone's head in the well-known PKO-format. Players will start the dance with 100,000 in chips and the last-chance saloon will be closed for business after level 13.

Levels will be 20 minutes throughout and a winner will be crowned at the end of the night, joining the likes of Konstantin Maslak, Dawid "INSERTC0IN" Smolka, and Lev "LevMeAlone" Gottlieb, who all won this very event on the previous three Sundays of this festival.

Using GG's innovative staking feature, players are already selling off their action to spice things up for their followers. Make sure to check out the GGPoker client or sign up below if you haven't got one yet to quickly jump into all the action.

Cards will be in the air soon, so check back regularly to PokerNews throughout the night as we'll bring you all the action from the GGSF!

Aces for Malinowski
Aces for Malinowski

Wiktor Malinowski has become the first player to stick 25% of the buy-in back in his pocket as he took down "Apowers1968" in the process. After a raise from Thomas Muehloecker and a three-bet from "Apowers1968", Malinowski four-bet to 13,760 and got "Apowers1968" along for a call.

The {2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop saw Malinowski continue for 7,360 and "Apowers1968" call. Both players checked the {q-Clubs} on the turn to see the {6-Diamonds} river appear. Malinowski simply shipped it in and "Apowers1968" called off 66,362 with {k-Spades}{q-Spades}. Malinowski, however, had {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} to win and capture his first scalp.

Easy call for Margereson

At the end of the first level, Patrick Leonard made it 1,760 under the gun and Scott Margereson three-bet to 5,600. Leonard called to see the {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop fall. Leonard then check-raised a bet of 3,340 to 14,960 and Margereson called.

On the {5-Hearts} turn, Leonard bet 15,083 and Margereson called another street. The river was the {7-Diamonds} and Leonard shipped it in, only to be snap-called by Margereson with {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for almost all of his remaining stack. Leonard mucked {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and was left with dust.
