There is no shortage of action in tonight’s 50-50 Bounty. All it takes is a bounty chip in play to stir things up; it’s a situation familiar to anyone who’s played a bounty tournament.
A good example just happened on table 37 when Ara Asatoorian, who was down to a little more than 10 big blinds, moved all in from early position. The other players had their eyes on his $500 bounty chip, and each one wanted their chance to go heads up against the short stack. Andrew Forest attempted to isolate by going all in over the top, but he ran into a big(ger) hand when Mitcheal Ferguson moved all in for less. The blinds got out of the way and hands were tabled.

Play continues in level 10, a leaderboard update will follow soon.
