The Quattro Bounty format injected massive dynamics into the four-card action. The $10,500 buy-in tournament (with $6,000 going to the main prizepool and $4,000 forming the bounty pool) saw a total of 57 entries.
James Chen dominated the bounty phase from the start, collecting 8 out of 14 available bounty rewards in the entire tournament. Chen burst the money bubble in style, eliminating Cesar Garcia and sending Jonas Kronwitter to 9th place in the same hand.
The final table featured a whirlwind of action, with Jeremy Ausmus crashing out in 7th place and Lautaro Guerra in 6th after a massive 4-way all-in. Chen continued his charge by sending Ben Lamb packing before eliminating PGT founder Cary Katz.
Chen entered the final second day as the chipleader, with Richard Gryko advancing to heads-up after knocking out Youness Barakat.
Chen never relinquished his lead during the duel, with the decisive hand unfolding on a board of T d 4 c 2 d 7 h, where the players went all-in. Chen held Q d 9 c 8 d 6 s, while Gryko revealed 5 d 4 s 3 s 2 c. Statistically, it was an exact coin flip (50% each). The river J h completed a straight for Chen, sealing his victory.
