A Bounty Beat

I've heard enough bad beat stories in my time to publish a book longer than War and Peace, but the last one may have been worth hearing.

With a €250 bounty hanging precariously over his head, Tony G found himself all in with {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} versus {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, his opponent's only hope being a diamond encrusted board.

However, with the flop coming {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}, it was Tony G who was left free-rolling, the {6-Hearts} turning what was a mere tease into a general threat.

On the {5-Hearts} river, the table erupted, Tony G not only remaining bountiful, but with double his stack. Now on around the 8,000 mark, it looks as though the G-ster's scalp could prove more difficult to capture than first thought.
