In early position, Jimmie Guinther came into the pot for a raise to 3,600, and Scott Blackman three-bet to 29,400, leaving only three lonely green T25 chips in front of him. From the big blind, Michael Pesek re-shoved for 31,225, Guinther called (having both players covered), and Blackman dropped his last three chips into the pot.
Showdown
Guinther: 
Blackman: 
Pesek: 
The 
flop pulled the worst hand (Guinther's) into the lead with top pair. The turn 
was no change, and he was one card from the double knockout.
River: 
That's just what Pesek was looking for, the king on the river giving him top pair and the big pot. After that exchange, Guinther is left with just 5,700 chips. It was essentially a $20,000 river card for him as it robbed him of the double knockout. Pesek, on the other hand, claims the bounty of Scott Blackman, chipping up to 99,000 in the process.
Blackman notched three bounties on Day 1, so he'll take home a total of $44,000 today.
