Awonke Phewa Eliminated in 13th Place ($1,905)

Jeff McMillan

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

There was a big three-way all in preflop with Awonke Phewa at risk with the , Mohammad Bagheri had the while Mahesh Rathi had the .

The board ran out to give the big pot to Rathi, shorten Bagheri and eliminate Phewa.

Phewa then went to cash in his four bounty chips and draw envelopes. He dramatically peeled each one as the room watched and rooted for the $40,000 to come off, while the remaining players with bounties anti-sweated the $40,000 jackpot.

The first three he slowly revealed one number at a time, each time the $4 coming up first to heighten the excitement but they were all disappointingly just $400 bounty cards. On the last one he chose to quickly whip it open and reveal it to the crowd watching first, but it was another $400 as he got the minimum from the four bounty cards.
