On Tuesday, one day ago, Twitter was buzzing about a $50 No Limit Hold’em Six-Max Rebuy that took place during our series at Running Aces. One entrant Tweeted, “More six-max rebuy in the future please! A ton of fun until my friend @BurkeVz showed up with the bottom pair, bottom kicker.” Jon Kulkay took down the tournament.

A special Pro Bountyevent held last weekend during the series drew 66 players and offered up a top prize of $6,300. Players like “Bet Raise Fold” star Danielle Anderson served as bounties, with a variety of gear from PocketFives, Blue Shark Optics, Ultimate Poker, and other companies being given away as bounty prizes. Thanks to everyone who showed up and made the event a rousing success.
