Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Amy Patel found herself all in and up against it as she was off to a runout against the big slick of Brad Gerstner.

Amy Patel: Q♣9♣ All in
Brad Gerstner: A♣K♠

The 10♣6♥6♠ runout helped her none, but the J♠ was one of the better turn cards for her to see, as she became open-ended. She couldn't find one of her many outs as the river 4♣ came clean for Gerstner, who has now locked up his second $3,000 bounty.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Rajesh Vohra was all in from the big blind, eyeing a pot worth around 45,000. Erik Seidel in the small blind and Frederik Thiemer under the gun were still active, playing for a side pot of roughly 15,800.

The flop came K♥A♣3♦, and Seidel immediately fired 25,000. Thiemer folded without hesitation, securing the side pot for Seidel. With just Vohra left in the hand, the cards were turned up.

Rajesh Vohra:10♣10♠ All in
Erik Seidel:K♦K♣

Seidel had flopped top set, and the 7♠ turn left Vohra drawing dead. The 10♦ river gave Vohra a set of his own, but it was far too late. Seidel scooped both pots and added a bounty to his collection.

Player	Chips	Progress
Erik Seidel	245,000 185,000	185,000

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Joonhee Yea, Yohwan Lim, and Jinho Hong got it all in preflop, with Hong covering and looking to add to the five bounties he already has in his stack.

Yohwan Lim: A♥7♥ All in
Joonhee Yea: K♠Q♥ All in
Jinho Hong: 3♥3♦

The board arrived at the turn reading J♥8♣4♥2♣ with Hong having to fade plenty of outs to score a double elimination. The 7♣ peeled off on the river, meaning Lim got a much-needed triple up, and Hong only took Yea's $3,000 bounty chip.

Jinho Hong	267,000 267,000	267,000

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Siddharth Gandhi limped from middle position and Stuart Taylor called from the hijack. Christian Harder completed from the small blind, but Jeremy Joseph jammed for 28,000 from the big blind. Gandhi limp-jammed himself for 120,000, forcing Taylor to tank-fold. Harder quickly folded and the cards were revealed.

Jeremy Joseph: A♠K♦ All in
Siddharth Gandhi: A♣A♥

Joseph was in rough shape with Big Slick versus the pocket Rockets of Gandhi. The flop of 4♣3♦10♦ left Joseph needing running cards to survive. The K♣ turn provided a glimmer of hope, but nothing came of it on the Q♣ river. The pot was sent to Gandhi, and Joseph was out.

Siddharth Gandhi	160,000 160,000	160,000
Stuart Taylor	105,000 45,000	45,000

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jason Daly opened the action with a raise to 2,400 from under the gun, and Max Neugebauer made the call from early position. Sean Winter then three-bet to 3,600, leaving himself just 100 behind. Joseph Beasy called on the button, as did Min Zhang from the big blind.

When the action returned to Daly, he moved all in. Neugebauer and Winter both called, while Beasy and Zhang got out of the way, setting up a three-way showdown.

Sean Winter: 6♠5♣ All in
Max Neugebauer: K♣Q♦ All in
Jason Daly: 4♠2♠

The flop came 7♣A♠J♠, giving Daly a flush draw and Neugebauer a gutshot. The 2♦ turn gave Daly a small pair, and for a moment it looked like he might scoop the pot and score two knockouts.

But the river brought the 10♦, completing Neugebauer's straight and turning the tables. He doubled through Daly and claimed the bounty from Winter.

Jason Daly	110,000 110,000	110,000

Sava Krink

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Stephen Buell opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 1,500, and Thixoa Nguyen made the call from the cutoff. Antoine Labat, sitting in the big blind, put in a three-bet to 6,400. Both opponents called to see a flop.

The dealer spread 7♣2♥5♦, and Labat continued with a bet of 6,000. Nguyen was the only caller, taking the hand to the turn.

On the 10♥ turn, Labat took a brief pause before sliding out a bet of 35,000, putting Nguyen all in for her remaining stack of around 15,000. Nguyen double-checked her cards and made the call.

Thixoa Nguyen: 7♠4♠ All in
Antoine Labat: A♥K♣

Nguyen held a pair of sevens with a gutshot, while Labat had two overcards with potential. The river brought the A♠, pairing Labat's ace and ending Nguyen’s run. Labat collected the pot and the bounty.
