Stone Continues to Steamroll Shortly After Bubble Pops

On blinds of 4,000/8,000, "Got_Steam" shoved from the button and Katie "KatieStone" Stone called in the big blind, putting her opponent at risk of elimination.

"Got_Steam": {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Katie "KatieStone" Stone: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The flop fell {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, giving "Got_Steam" a straight draw but the {2-Spades} turn and {3-Hearts} river failed to improve their hand, sending them out the door as Stone collected yet another bounty.

  • As you knock out other players, you are paid 50% of their bounty and the other 50% is added to your total bounty
  • Unlike regular knockout tournaments the value of the bounties can grow.
  • If you are the victor in a PKO Tournament you win in multiple ways:
    Win the amount in the general prize pool for 1st place
