Oliver Gill Eliminated; Pedley Pays
Yesterday, Michael Pedley sat next to Oliver Gill for several hours. Irritated by Gill's incessant chatter, Pedley put four AU$50 notes on the table and stated that there was a AU$200 bounty on Gill's head. The player to eliminate Gill would be paid from Pedley's own pocket.
Pedley didn't make it to Day 2, but he was watching from the rail when Stephen Boots opened to 11,500 and then called after Gill pushed all in for 46,200. Boots showed , a slight favorite over Gill's . The board ran out , sending Gill out of the tournament. Pedley fished AU$200 out of his pocket and gave it to Boots in satisfaction of the bounty.
