Joey “Birdman” Boczek has just been knocked out from the PLO 50/50 Bounty Event, and with his elimination the tournament is now in the money.
He limped into the hand from early position, and once Manfred Gunther opened to 50,000 on the button, he re-raised the pot, sliding forward 168,000 and leaving himself around 120,000 behind. Manfred tanked for a moment before making the call, and the rest of the chips went in on the flop.

Manfred found as set of 5s on the board to win the 1/2 million chip pot, and now sits on over 625,000 for the current chip-lead.
