Event 3: Chopped Pot, Chopped Bounty

$260 + $40 + $100 Black Chip Bounty PLO (Re-Entry)

There is lots of furious action on the last hand before break.  Mike Linster (Island Park, NY) and Ernie Vidal (Nutley, NJ) both hold 6 8 on a 4 5 7 board for the eight high straight and a chopped pot.

In the process two players are knocked out and two $100 black chip bounties are up for grabs. Linster and Vidal each pocket a $100, but not without some discussion with the floor supervisor.

Normally when there's a chopped pot for a one chip bounty the player with the worse position gets the bounty because the chip can't be split in half.  Since there are two chips it's an easy split and both players walk away happy.

Linster is up to 72k and is one of the big stacks.
