MYSTERY BOUNTY (200$ TO BOUNTY POOL) ($675)

In a tense blind-versus-blind clash, Pham Quoc Tuan shoved all-in from the small blind and was snap-called by Dave Erquiaga in the big, holding Tuan’s tournament fate in his hands.

Pham Quoc Tuan: K♠ 6♦

Dave Erquiaga: Q♥ 5♥

The board ran out 9♣ A♥ 6♠ 4♠ K♣. Tuan flopped a pair of sixes, but it was the king on the river that sealed the double-up, upgrading his hand to two pair and snatching victory from the jaws of elimination.

Sewy Steenman opened the action with a raise to 600 from under the gun and picked up two callers: Pham Quoc Tuan in middle position and Sacha Bayard on the button.

The flop came 6♣ 7♠ 3♣, and after Steenman checked, Tuan fired out 1,000. Bayard quickly folded, and Steenman made the call.

The 3♥ hit the turn, and both players opted to check it through. The river brought the 5♦, and again, the action went check-check.

Steenman tabled 8♦ 8♣ for an overpair, which was good enough to take down the pot after Tuan mucked his hand.

Action was picked up on the flop of A♦ 7♣ 4x with two players all-in — Huncao Tri Nguyen and Viet An Nguyen, the latter at risk.

Viet An Nguyen: K♠ K♥

Huncao Tri Nguyen: A♣ Q♣

Tri Nguyen had already found an ace on the flop to take the lead. The runout of 4♣ and Q♦ gave him two pair, sending Viet An Nguyen to the rail.
