Bounty Update
With the elimination of Taylor von Kriegenbergh in fifth place, the only two players alive contending in the race for the most bounties are Jason Mercier and Eugene Katchalov, both Team PokerStars Pros. As it stands right now, Mercier has six bounties and Katchalov has four. If Mercier can pick up one more bounty, he'll have seven and lock up the $20,000 prize for earning the most bounties. An entry to the next North American Poker Tour Bounty Shootout also comes as a prize, but the next stop is still unannounced.
Katchalov will need to bust all three of his remaining opponents in order to win the bounty race. If Jonathan Jaffee or Michael Pesek eliminate one another, Katchalov will have to bust the last two players then in order to claim the title after play gets to three-handed.
