Another Pot, Another Bounty for de Farias

Level 14 : 3,500/7,000, 875 ante

An open-shove of 126,215 by "limbfromlimb" caught the eye of Mauricio "Mauricioint" de Farias who slapped his all-in button, putting 950,030 into the middle and everyone else folded.

"limbfromlimb": {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Mauricio "Mauricioint" de Farias: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The flop fell {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and the queens of de Farias were well in front. A {10-Spades} turn card left the short-stack in need of a duck but the {7-Hearts} river was not it and de Farias scooped the pot, eliminating his opponent as he collected yet another bounty.

Pankov Pulls In a Monster

Level 14 : 3,500/7,000, 875 ante

Vitaliy "witalii" Pankov opened to 16,100 from the cutoff and directly on his left was Ariel "ArielBahia" Celestino who made it 25,200 to go. Geraldo "geraldocesar" Neto called in the small blind and Pankov then four-bet to 111,300. Celestino called, Neto threw in the towel and a {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop hit the board.

Pankov tapped to Celestino, he bet 65,450 and an instant check-shove came from Pankov for more than enough to cover Celestino who hit the tank. In the end, Celestino called for his 517,339 stack and the two turned over their hands.

Ariel "ArielBahia" Celestino: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Vitaliy "witalii" Pankov: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Pankov was in the lead but Celestino had a monster draw. A {7-Hearts} turn left Celestino with one last chance for romance but the river gave him no love as a {5-Spades} completed the board. Celestino took an exit and Pankov took the lead.

"Mastermandel" Finds Another Bounty

Level 13 : 3,000/6,000, 750 ante

A 12,000 raise from "Mastermandel" on the button was called by "vlaviusz" in the big blind. A {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop landed on the virtual felt and a bet of 9,675 by "Mastermandel" was check-raised to 59,766 as "vlaviusz" pushed all in. "Mastermandel" called and the two tabled their cards.

"vlaviusz": {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}
"Mastermandel": {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The jacks of "vlaviusz" were sitting clearly on top until an unlikely {q-Spades} smacked down on the turn, giving "Mastermandel" a straight. The {8-Clubs} river failed to fill up "vlaviusz" who was sent packing, shipping their stack and bounty over to "Mastermandel".

Talbot Keeps Collecting

Level 12 : 2,500/5,000, 625 ante

"INormaJean" open-shoved 43,709 from under the gun and action folded around to Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot who shoved over the top from the small blind. The big blind folded and the cards then hit their backs.

"INormaJean": {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The flop came down {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Talbot picked up some more outs even but was still behind. A lead-changing {k-Spades} peeled off, giving the Canadian the advantage, and a {2-Clubs} river cemented it for him. Talbot took down the pot, collecting another bounty in the process.
