$1,650 Six-Max Purple Chip Bounty NLH (Re-entry)

Blinds: 1,200/2,400/400 ante

Seth Berger’s run at two trophies in the Lucky Hearts Poker Open comes at the hands of Farid Jattin who doubles through Berger then gets the knockout.

On the first hand Jattin’s QQ flops a set against AQ for a 60k double-up.  The hand cuts Berger in half and the two tangle again with Jattin holding KQ > Q8.

Berger finishes in 7th place for $4,180; he who won Event 6 ($1k) earlier this week for $26,520.

Busto 7th for $4100 played terrible at 7 handed ft. Time for @JoeyWeissman to reverse the finishes from the last creek bird
