Event 5: Bounty Odds

$500 + $60 + $500 NLH Purple Chip Bounty

William Dugan (Ventnor, NJ)

Two short stacks at the table went against the entire room when offered to wrap up the tournament in lieu of a break. The shorties wanted to continue playing.

So play went on and both short stacks shipped it. William Dugan with 12 big blinds left, having both players covered, called with A-9.

He was drawing thin, up against A-Q of hearts and A-7.

A nine on the flop gave Dugan $1000 as he knocked out two players and padded his stack to $150,000.

Another player told Dugan, "You're in contention now kid". Dugan responded, "That's all it takes".

With two short stacks all-in in front of William, he had bounty odds and made the call.
