After over 13 hours of play, Weston Pring has grinded through the field to take down the $450 NLH Bounty. The tournament found huge success drawing in 117 entries to create a prize pool of $44,460 ($32,760 prizes, $11,700 bounties). Pring took home 12 bounties along with the lion share of $9,120. Runner-up Daniel O’Leary also took home 10 bounties, while David Fong collected 11 bounties alongside his final table run.
Early in the day Steve Chung found a double elimination to spearhead his final table run. Fong also collected a couple early eliminations sitting as the second largest stack of 119,300 by the first break. Phong continued his success with the leading stack, as play neared the money. While in hand for hand play, both tables saw an elimination to bring the remaining field into the money. Matthew Ouellette and Shabab Khan, the two players to bubble, split the min-cash of $665 for $333 each.
Eliminations were rapid with Pring finding a double knockout to be the first player around 1,000,000. The final table soon shrunk from 9 to 5 with Fong and O’Leary each finding a pair of eliminations. From there, O’Leary took the chip lead and never looked back. His aggressive play applied maximum pressure to the remaining players with a dwindling number of big blinds. Pring’s duece’s held in a flip against Wesley Michalycia, and O’Leary won his race against Tesh Patel to leave the pair heads-up.
With the increasing blinds dwindling his stack, he got it in good with Ace-Jack against Jack-Ten to find his first double. A string of good hands and massive blinds swayed momentum into Pring’s corner. Soon he held a five to one chip lead. However, O’Leary picked off Pring’s shove doubling back near a million chips. Soon after, O’Leary made a hero call with middle pair against Pring’s two overs. The board ran out clean for O’Leary giving him the slight chip lead.
Pring caught more hands using aggression to steal the blinds and win pots that added up. Shortly after, Daniel O’Leary moved all in with 9♣5♣. Pring made a quick call with A♥6♥, as both players sweat the runout. O’Leary flopped better making top pair. Yet, Pring smashed his gutshot straight draw on the river to take down the tournament.
