Cormier Picks Up a Bounty

Level 7 : 300/500, 500 ante

Jeff Cormier raised to 1,200 in early position and was called by the small blind. The big blind jammed all in for 17,600 and Cormier re-shoved over the top. The small blind folded and the two hands were tabled.

Jeff Cormier: {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The flop of {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} looked grim for Cormier but the {j-Spades} on the turn gave him an open-ended straight draw. The river was the {9-Spades} and despite his opponent making a set, Cormier rivered a straight to pick up a bounty.

Michael Lubas was in middle position and shoved for 11,600 after Robert Kaggerud's open. A player in the small blind shoved for 10,800 and Kaggerud said "I will gamble," and he called too, going for the double bounty.

Small blind: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Robert Kaggerud: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Michal Lubas: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out: {6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{x-} and Lubas tripled-up while he won a bounty.

It's Bounty Hunting Season

Level 7 : 300/500, 500 ante

Players are constantly getting all of their chips in the middle at each and every table in search of those €300 bounty chips while the registration period is still open. At one table, the action folded to Phil Hui on the button who shipped all in, having short stacks in the blinds behind him. Viktor Blom called off his stack of 11,700 in the small blind and the big blind also stuck in the last of his 11,500 chips.

Viktor Blom: {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Phil Hui: {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Big Blind: {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The flop fell {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} which sent Hui into a commanding lead as he looked to score a double bounty. However, the {j-Clubs} and {q-Clubs} runout gave both of his opponents a flush. Blom had the big blind covered which earned him a bounty chip while he essentially tripled up as well.

Kessler Forced to Re-Enter

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante

Three players saw a flop of {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} spread across the felt and the action checked to Allen Kessler on the button. Kessler bet 1,500 and was called by the big blind and Aviad Regev in middle position.

The turn was the {a-Hearts} and the action checked to Kessler again. He fired in a bet of 4,000 which the big blind called. Regev jammed all in for 16,500 and Kessler stuck in the last of his 15,200 as well. The big blind folded and the two remaining hands were tabled.

Regev showed {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a straight with a flush draw while Kessler held {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} for two pair. The river was the {7-Spades} and Kessler was eliminated at the hands of Regev.
