There have only been a few hands played the final table in the Omaha Bounty, but two players have already made their exits. In keeping with the theme of this evening, the players have been quick to put their bounty chips in play, drawing calls almost as quickly in most cases.
Manfred Gunther was eliminated in ninth place in the first orbit at the final table. Jonathan Bussieres had opened the action to 5,300 on Gunther’s 2,400 big blind and drew calls from two players before the action go to Gunther, who raised the stakes to 28,000. Bussieres re-raised all-in, chasing the other two out of the pot before Gunther called off his stack.

Bussieres’ aces were good enough to send Gunther to the rail in ninth place.
Ivan Driard followed suit shortly thereafter, when he was all-in before the flop for less than five big blinds and got called by two players. Although the hand was checked down, both opponents made two-pair hands, and Driard was eliminated in eighth place.
