Bounty Update

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Here's a look at how the bounty leader board stands right now. Jonathan Duhamel and John Smith have both earned one bounty at the final table to move them into a four-way tie with Shawn Buchanan and Sameer Al Janedi. Out of those four, only Smith is still in contention to earn more bounties as the other three have been eliminated.

Jonathan Duhamel Eliminated in 6th Place ($58,000)

From under the gun, Ali Eslami raised to 3,200. Jonathan Duhamel reraised all in for 34,600 from the cutoff seat. Joe Tehan made a reraise all in for 67,000 from the small blind and Eslami folded.

Tehan tabled the {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} to see he was up against the {K-Spades}{8-Spades} for Duhamel. The flop came down {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Tehan smashed it, picking up top pair and a flush draw. Duhamel needed a lot of help if he was going to win this hand and stay alive.

The turn brought the {8-Hearts} and gave Duhamel a pair of eights. He was still behind, but looking for a non-diamond king or eight. The river completed the board with a king, but it was the {K-Diamonds} and Tehan made a flush.

Duhamel was eliminated in sixth place. He earned $40,000 for winning his table, $8,000 for the four bounties he collected yesterday and $10,000 for the one he collected today. He's also tied for the lead in the bounty race with five.

John Smith limped under the gun and inspired Joe Tehan and Ali Eslami to do the same behind. When action was on Matt Woodward in the big blind, he moved all in for 29,400 more. Smith quickly moved all in himself for 35,600, and both Tehan and Eslami got out of the way.

Smith: {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Woodward: {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Woodward was ahead but not after the flop fell {6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. The {5-Diamonds} turn left Woodward looking for an ace on the river, but it was not meant to be as the {4-Spades} peeled off. Woodward was eliminated from the tournament in seventh place courtesy of Smith, who not only collected the $10,000 bounty but chipped up to 70,000 in the process.

John Smith moved all in for 12,000 and Pat Walsh made the call from the small blind before Joe Tehan reraised all in from the big blind. That knocked Walsh out of the way and left Tehan and Smith heads up.

Smith: {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Tehan: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

The flop, turn and river ran out {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{2-Clubs} to give Smith the triple up.
