Jack Duong Wins Event #62 ($333,351)
Long a popular tournament format online and in casinos everywhere, the WSOP added a bounty tournament with Event #62: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Bounty. Friday night, Jack Duong looked all set to win his first bracelet, except he couldn't finish off heads-up opponent Vitezslav Pesta.
The two returned on Saturday at 1 p.m. with Duong holding a monstrous lead of 15.38 million to 965,000. Blinds moved to 60,000/120,000/15,000, and as expected, it wasn't long before Pesta found himself all in. He was able to double with the 
against 
to at least Duong a mild sweat, but just 14 hands later, it was all over as Pesta picked up two jacks preflop and but Duong woke up with kings. An 
board later, Duong had his first bracelet and $333,351 in prize money.
The inaugural bounty tournament drew a healthy 2,178, with each knockout worth $500. Duong said he finished with 12 bounties, counting his own.
