Double Bounty All The Way, Manfred Gunther Knocks Out Two

Marco Simonetti opened with an all-in shove to 3,500 and one player called before another player thought for a moment before throwing in his bounty chip, going all in for 9,200.

"How much is it?" Manfred Gunther said, "one of these?"

Gunther held up his bounty chip and tossed it into the middle. The player who called the original shove folded and Gunther was heads up against two players. He was ahead with {10-}{10-} against the [kxjjx] of Simonetti and the {2-}{2-} of his other opponent.

The board ran out {q-}{9-}{8-}{k-}{10-} and gave Gunther a straight and two $100 knockouts. He is also one of the bigger stacks in the fielld with 164 left.
