Bounty was one of 214 entrants in the $215 KO Series 6-Max Turbo tournament. Those entrants ensured the $40,000 guarantee was first met then surpassed by $2,800. Half that pot went onto the heads of each entrant with the remaining 50% being shared among the top 35 finishers.

“ITSBAKINGDAVE” and “memo88” were the next casualties, the latter walking away with more than $3,200 to show for their efforts.

Heads-up was set when “wp-14” ran out of steam in third-place. This saw a $3,508 prize wing its way to the their partypoker account.

“Teemo” joined the list of KO Series winners when they triumphed in the $109 KO Series 6-Max event, a tournament that dished out $55,900. Outlasting 558 opponents is never an easy task, especially when you have a monetary target strapped to your back.
