Madan Flushes Harada
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The preflop action escaped us but we do know that Roger Harada got his stack of 13,000 all in preflop and was at risk against Ian Madan.
Madan: 
Harada: 
Harada was ahead and paired his deuce on the 
flop. The 
turn improved Harada trips, but it also gave Madan a flush draw. It came in too when the 
spiked on the river to send Harada to the rail.

Some Shots from the Pro Bounty
Madan Closes the Door on Brightly
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Holly Brightly got her last 6,000 all in preflop and found herself in dire straits against Ian Madan.
Madan: 
Brightly: 
Brightly had a kicker problem but it got resolved on the 
flop. Unfortunately for her, her lead was short-lived as the dealer burned and turned the 
to give Madan the lead.
The 
turn was of no consequence and Brightly headed for the exit while Madan was pushed the pot.

The Terrible Tale of Arlie Shaban's Pro Bounty Demise
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
We missed the final elimination of Twitch streamer and former Big Brother Canada contestant Arlie Shaban, who started the day as a bounty but got into the tournament for three bullets.
Fortunately, he was lingering about the tournament room and was kind enough to tell us about his demise, which he described as "Chaos."
As he told it, he was down to 4,700 on his third bullet when he got it in with ace-deuce against three opponents. He four-flushed to quadrupled up, and two hands later got it in with kings against two opponents to further triple up. Just like that, he was up to 40,000.
However, an orbit or so later he flopped top two holding 
only to discover an opponent had flopped Broadway with 
. Shaban was unable to fill up and hit the rail for the final time.
