$100 + $20 + $100 NL Hold’em 50/50 Bounty

The 50/50 Bounty ends in an 8-way chop

2016/06/20 - 3:56 by

The 50/50 Bounty attracted a total of 171 entries, and although there was no lack of action throughout the night, the pace greatly slowed down once the final table was reached. After playing 8-handed for nearly 3 full levels, where the short stack somehow always found a way to survive, the finalists of the 50/50 Bounty Event decided to take a look at the ICM chop numbers. Everyone was pleased with what they were being offered, and they shook on the deal.

Below is a look at the prizes each player was awarded. Note that these figures do not include the bounty chips that were amassed throughout the night.

Congratulations!

Alain Mathieu went on a bit of a roller-coaster ride early on this final table, as he lost most of his stack on the first hand with 66 < AK, and then tripled up the next hand with 88 > AK. A few hands went by before he elected to shove his now 8bb stack with , however he fell to the hands of Dave Primeau who held .
