"mrunicorn88" Done and Dusted; "TheTerminator1" Collects $50 Bounty

In Level 5 (400/800/125), "mrunicorn88" got their stack of 17,174 all in preflop and was in dire straits against "TheTerminator1".

"mrunicorn88": {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
"TheTerminator1": {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

"mrunicorn88" was in a bad spot and the {j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop didn't do much except provide a runner-runner straight option.

The {10-Diamonds} turn took that away, and "TheTerminator1" collected the $50 bounty after the {j-Spades} paired the board on the river. "mrunicorn88" opted not to re-enter the tournament.

Coleman Takes It on the River

David Coleman
David Coleman

In the last hand of Level 7 (600/1,200/150), David "TheKing411" Coleman raised to 2,400 from middle position and Michael "miw210x" Wang called from the small blind. Alex “JinYang” Butcher came along from the big and it was three-way action to the {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop.

All three players checked and then did the same on the {j-Hearts} turn.

When the {j-Diamonds} paired the board on the river, two more checks put action on Coleman and he opted to put out a really delayed continuation-bet of 5,040.

That did the trick as both Wang and Butcher released their hands.

Another Bounty for Vanauken

In the last hand of Level 10 (1,200/2,400/300), "RiverMan" moved all in for 12,415 under the gun and Eric “alwaysliquid” Vanauken isolated by three-bet jamming for 50,113 from the hijack. The rest of the players folded and it was off to the races.

Eric “alwaysliquid” Vanauken: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
"RiverMan": {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

It was a classic flip but "RiverMan" needed to improve to stay alive. Unfortunately for them, that proved easier said than done as the board ran out {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} to give the pot and bounty to Vanauken.

Double Elimination for Angel "chromeking" Lopez

Angel Lopez
Angel Lopez

The preflop action escaped us in Level 11 (1,400/2,800/350), but we do know that both "RiverMan," who had recently re-entered, and "odo23" were all in for roughly 30,000 apiece and at risk against Angel "chromeking" Lopez.

Angel "chromeking" Lopez: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
"odo23": {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
"RiverMan": {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Lopez had the best of it nad he collected two bounties as the board ran out a clean, lowly {9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

Vanauken Collects Another Bounty; Up to $300

In Level 12 (1,600/3,200/350), action folded around to "njpokeraa" and they moved all in for 24,010 from the button. Eric “alwaysliquid” Vanauken was in the big blind and opted to take a shot at another bounty.

"njpokeraa": {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Eric “alwaysliquid” Vanauken: {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

"njpokeraa" got it in good and held on the {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop. Unfortunately for them, the {5-Hearts} peeled off on the turn to pair Vanauken and give him the lead. The {a-Spades} river was of no consequence and Vanauken scored another knockout, which meant another bounty went in his pocket.

He has now collected $300 in bounties.
