Vitalijs Zavorotnijs:
John Pierce:

Thivyanathan liked the flop, leaving his opponents looking for aces. The turn and river sealed the deal and Thivyanathan eliminated two and grabbed their bounties in the process.

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Nick Maimone raised to 20,000 from early position only to have Yudhishter Jaswal three-bet jam for 55,000 from the button. Shea Quintin, who just last week won the MSPT Venetian $1,600 Main Event, proceeded to four-bet to 154,000 out of the small blind and Maimone responded by five-bet jamming for 439,000. Quintin gave it some thought and then spiked in a call.

Shea Quintin:
Nick Maimone:
Yudhishter Jaswal:

The board ran out and Maimone's two pair with a queen kicker was enough to not only survive Quintin but to also collect Jaswal's bounty.

Maimone redeemed his bounty but drew an envelope containing the minimum $500.
