"Outofyourrange" Flops Set to Win Three Bounties

Blinds 250-500

Just before the break, a big four-way all-in developed. "TakingS0uls" opened under the gun to 1,150, "Graytac1" from one seat away, as did a player in middle position and "Outofyourrange" in the cutoff. "WellWaterWendel" came along in the small blind and so did "shefnhatesme66" in the big blind.

The six players saw a flop of {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. "shefnhatesme66" jammed for 15,441 chips and "TakingS0uls" called for his last 11,456. "Graytac1" put in his remaining 19,117 chips and "Outofyourrange" called.

"TakingS0uls": {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
"Graytac1": {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
"Outofyourrange": {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
"shefnhatesme66": {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

All four players had pocket pairs but it was "Outofyourrange" with the weakest preflop pair that jumped ahead by flopping a set. The turn was the {j-Spades} and the river was the {k-Diamonds} to give "Outofyourrange" the pot and three bounties.

"Pepbuzz": {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
"BipolarHobbes": {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
"dawheelz2.0": {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Neither draw hit the turn but the {9-Clubs} did come to put "Pepbuzz" ahead. The {j-Hearts} changed nothing and "Pepbuzz" took the chips and the bounties.
