Sucks To Be A Bounty

Kenneth Damm eliminated
Kenneth Damm eliminated
There will be no successful title defence for Kenneth Damm.

He's just been eliminated by an opponent who called his 4,000 chip all-in with {K-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Damm was hoping his {9-?}{9-?} would hold up, but alas he was disappointed.

The {8-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} put his opponent in front and he didn't look back with the {a-Clubs} hitting the turn and the {5-Spades} completing the board on the river.

Damm took the beat well, but Peter Aristidou went into bat for the international visitor.

"You don't make that call if he isn't a bounty" said Aristidou matter-of-factly.

The young player who eliminated Damm took exception retorting "It had nothing to do with him being a bounty" as he gladly claimed his bounty prize.
