The World Poker Tour is in Cyprus for the WPT Prime Cyprus Championship, and things are heating up fast. The $1 million guaranteed main event is in its penultimate flight, but it’s the $660 Bounty PLO side event that’s stealing the spotlight with some seriously wild action.
When the hand took place, only 33 players remained from 96 entries—and that was just at Level 9. In one of the most insane hands so far, three players were eliminated in a six-way all-in, and none of them even had aces!
If you’re not watching this, you’re definitely missing out.
Dealer Has His Work Cut Out
With the blinds at 1,000/2,000/2,000bba, Claude Bedran opened to 7,000 from under the gun with J*♠10♠10♣2♣, and Hassan Niknezhadi, holding 10♦10♥6♦6♥, jumped in. Onur Salman, sitting in middle position with A♣K♠8♠2♥, shoved his last 10,500. With a $300 bounty on the line, Ilan Verdnikov, holding Q♣J♦5♦4♣*, wasn’t about to miss out and went all-in for 21,500 from the cutoff.
That’s when table captain Abdurrahman KucukK*♦K♣8♣3♥* slid in a big raise with a pile of T-5,000 chips. In the small blind, Serkan DemirkolK*♥9♦7♥4♠* threw in his last few big blinds, and just like that, Bedran and Niknezhadi committed their chips as well, setting up a massive pot with plenty of bounties up for grabs.
Kucuk just needed his kings to hold to claim a $1,500 bounty haul, which was more than the sixth-place payout of $1,250. But the Q*♦8♦3♦* flop brought some drama, as both Verdnikov and Niknezhadi hit flushes. Verdnikov had the better flush, but Kucuk still had outs, hoping his two pair—eights and threes—could turn into a full house. The 2*♦* turn left Demirkol and Bedran drawing dead, while Salman, holding eights and deuces, was hoping for a duck to make a boat of his own.
The Q*♥* river sealed the deal, giving Verdnikov and Niknezhadi the checkmarks. Verdnikov took down two bounties and the main pot, while Niknezhadi pocketed an extra $300 and the side pot.
The top 13 players will make the money and take their respective slices of the $28,800 regular prize pool ($28,800 in bounties). The min-cash is set at $700, while the winner will be awarded $8,575.
At the time of publishing, the final table bubble had just burst, with Andrew Studley bowing out in tenth place. Leonard Dirlewenger holds the chip lead with the blinds about to increase to 4,000/8,000/8,000bba.
