Crandell Gets Two Bounties After a Mega Cooler

Level 3 : 100/300, 300 ante
Rick Crandell
Rick Crandell

Rick Crandell had two opponents at risk preflop; one in early position for around 15,000, and one in middle position for around 10,000.

Middle Position: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Early Position: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Rick Crandell: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Crandell's aces wouldn't even get a sweat, as a {2-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop gave him top set, and the {5-Hearts} turn and {9-Spades} river earned him two $500 bounties, making this tournament already a near freeroll.

Smith Gets a Bounty From "ratedGTO"

Level 3 : 100/300, 300 ante
Jerod Smith
Jerod Smith

Jerod Smith shared with us how he sent Ricky Guan to the cashier's desk to re-enter.

Smith checked a {k-}{7-}{7-} flop with two hearts over to Guan, who bet 1,200. Smith raised to 4,000, and Guan called.

Both players checked the {k-} turn, and the {5-Clubs} fell on the river. Smith checked again, and Guan bet 12,000, leaving himself just 100 behind. Smith tank-shoved, and Guan called off his last chip, showing {a-}{a-}. Smith's {7-Spades}{5-Spades} for a full house was good, however, and he netted the $500 bounty.

Apostol Flips His Way to a Bounty

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Tyson Apostol
Tyson Apostol

Tyson Apostol had jammed for 20,000 from the cutoff, and Chris Lindner called off his last 8,800 in middle position. The hijack had 1,800 committed to the pot, and tanked for a bit before folding.

Chris Lindner: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Tyson Apostol: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Apostol's queens held on a {6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} board, and he earned the bounty. The hijack hung his head after the hand, and Apostol asked, "You had jacks?"

The hijack confirmed that he indeed had folded jacks, and Apostol said, "Good call...but also, you should've called!" referencing the hijack's good fold gone wrong.

Paul Holder raised to 500 from the hijack, and Chad Holloway three-bet to 1,300 from the button. Holder called.

Holder check-called a bet of 1,500 on the {5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Spades} flop, and Holder checked again on the {10-Diamonds} turn. Holloway bet 3,000, and Holder went into the tank.

"You got queens, Chad?" Holder asked. He folded a short time later, and Holloway raked in the pot without showing.
