Event #6: $400 No Limit Hold'em PKO

Pennsylvania bounty hunters rejoiced tonight, as Event #6: $400 No Limit Hold'em PKO saw 251 players fire away in hopes of claiming the plethora of bounties available. With an additional 68 rebuys, the total prize pool was $114,840, which was divided evenly between the main prize pool and the bounty pool. After just over nine hours of play, Pittsburgh's Thong "Conngong12" Do was the victor, netting $22,214 between prize money and bounties, after a hard-fought final table run featuring two prominent Twitch Streamers.

Do, who has just four recorded Hendon Mob cashes for $9,233 to his credit prior to his victory, sat in the middle or bottom of the pack for most of the final table. After catching a big bluff from eventual third-place finisher Anthony "SimSolvers" Garofalo, Do gained all the momentum, one that would result in them defeating Shawn "MoXSTeeM" Stroke in a short heads-up battle for the top prize and the WSOP Gold Bracelet.

Forty-eight players earned a piece of the main prize pool, and some notables that walked away with a cash include Kevin "Waterboy71" Grabel (11th - $683 + $1,479 in Bounties), Ryan "DRIBRELLIK" Quail (22nd - $425 + $180 in Bounties), and Thomas "FullMetalPKR" Parkes (27th - $419 + $428 in Bounties).

Final Table Action

Elias "DAG_CLG" Garney started the final table in the middle of the pack, but lost a chunk of their stack early, then lost the rest to Anthony "SimSolvers" Garofalo a short time later. Ryan "CampPinebox" Pochedly was quick to follow, losing a flip to Shawn "MoXSTeeM" Stroke. James "mskrrr" Moore was the next player to run into the sun-running Stroke, when Moore jammed over a Stroke limp. Stroke was laying in the weeds with aces, however, and Moore was knocked out in seventh.

After Tristan "Jokulhaups" Harris fell in sixth, it was the two Twitch Streamers that were knocked out next. First, Zach "CaptainLevi" Gruneberg, who had spent the majority of the final table at or near the short stack, finally succumbed to Garofalo when Gruneberg's ace-ten was outkicked by Garofalo's ace-jack. Drew "MoveBlanket" Gonzalez followed him out soon after in a very similar spot, with Gonzalez ripping ace-eight and running into the ace-ten of Thong "Conngong12" Do to bust in fourth.

Do then proceeded to catch a bluff from Garofalo to take over the chip lead, and Garofalo lost a flip soon after to Do to bust in third. Stroke was at a 2:1 chip disadvantage at the start of heads-up play, but with almost 160 big blinds in play, a long heads-up battle seemed inevitable.

That was not the case.

Seven minutes into heads-up play, Stroke raised with sevens, and Do three-bet shoved with ace-ten. Stroke called off for almost 46 big blinds, and Do turned an ace and faded a seven on the river to lock up the biggest bounty of the tournament, along with the WSOP Gold Bracelet.
