Hartmann Doubles on River

Level 8 : 1,750/3,500, 500 ante

Pascal Hartmann avoided busting a second time as he shoved for just 48K in the small blind over a button open by Eelis Parssinen. Parssinen put in the "WTF" emoji then called with {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. He was live against {a-Spades}{3-Spades} and things looked good as he flopped a six on the {6-Spades}{j-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} board, but the {a-Diamonds} river gave Hartmann new life.

Barer Building Bounties

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 600 ante

Ami Barer opened for 9,000 in middle position and recent two-event winner Lev "LevMeAlone" Gottlieb defended the big blind after Stephen Chidwick called in the small. On the {5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop, Barer continued for 12,800, Chidwick called, and Gottlieb shoved. Barer shoved as well and Chidwick gave it up.

Barer: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Gottlieb: {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Barer improved to a full house as it ran {2-Hearts}, {9-Diamonds}. After a rocky start, he's now the chip leader and has $10,000 in bounties.
