Our top Bounty Hunter: Normand Deguire

2018/02/26 - 4:30 by Jôle Simard

Tonight’s tournament was a $100 + $20 + $100 Bounty, a format most appreciated by our player base. The 149 players who showed up for the Event testify to that, and blew the 20K guarantee by almost 50%.

Bounties flew, and many multi-way all-in hands took place, as players were going hard after those sweet $100 Bounties. One of those hands saw Yannick Kwan hit a set of tens to quadruple up. Éric Leblond got his kings cracked in that hand and was left with 2,700 chips. A few hours later, with 20 players left, Leblond was in the lead with 385K! He eventually busted after Normand Deguire ate him up in a series of cooler hands.

With 5 left, Deguire and Nazareth Maghakian were sharing the lead, with close to a million chips each. Franco Sicondolfi went out, and that’s when our 4 finalists looked at the ICM numbers. They agreed right away, and after that, the dynamic was very different. Only $300 were left on the line, so people were throwing chips liberally.

As Maghakian was taking some hits, Deguire was taking everybody out. Play slowed down a little bit when it got to heads-up, but despite Maghakian’s efforts to make a comeback and earn the title, Deguire’s stack size prevailed.

An excellent performance by both, who took turns on the job of shrinking the final table. Well done!

Our $100 + $20 + $100 Bounty Champion: Normand Deguire – $2,371

Runner-up: Nazareth Maghakian – $2,419
