Last hand of play
Zhang takes a blow
Lu Zhang just lost a good portion of her stack, as she check-called on three streets from the big blind, only to find out her opponent made 2-pairs on the board. Sheraz raised to 350,000 preflop, then bet 400,000, 500,000 and 700,000 respectively, to table for eights-up. Lu mucked her hand, leaving her with just a little over 2,000,000.
Last but not least… the $100 Bounty
Event 16 of the partypoker.net Playground Poker Spring Classic is the traditional closing event in Playground-hosted events: a bounty tournament. This year’s version is a $200 + $30 + $100 Bounty, meaning that each buy-in contributes $200 to the prize pool and $100 in the form of a $100 bounty chip. The bounty chip is kept by each player along with their chip stack, and when someone is eliminated from the tournament, they must give their bounty chip directly to the player who did the deed.
Late registration is open in this event until the end of the break following level 4, which is to say you can join the event until 9:05pm.
