|
It took just 13 hours to see the field of 387 entries in the 2018 World Series of Poker Europe €1,100 no-limit hold’em ‘turbo bounty hunter’ event narrowed down to just one player. In the end the last bounty hunter standing was Mykhailo Gutyi, who earned €61,299 ($70,150 USD) and his first WSOP gold bracelet for the win.
This was Gutyi’s second final table finish of the year. The 600 Card Player Player of the Year points he earned in this event were enough to see him move into 662nd place in the overall 2018 POY standings.
The Ukrainian was the shortest stack with ten players remaining, but he was able to take down a few pots and then knock out Philipp Zukernik in 7th place ($7,511 USD) and Kale Halstead in sixth place ($10,225 USD). He kept up the momentum, finding the 55 and calling a shove from Angelos Pettas, who held the A4. The board came down 84232 and Pettas was eliminated in fourth, earning $20,200 USD.
Gutyi kept on collecting bounties, knocking out Vangelis Kaimakamis in third place ($29,288 USD) to take roughly a 3-to-1 chip lead into heads-up play against Florian Sarnow. The shorter stack found an early double up, but was eliminated not too long after.
Sarnow limped in with 108 and Gutyi checked from the big blind holding the Q2. The flop brought the 1093 and Gutyi checked his flush. Sarnow checked as well and the turn brought the 10, giving Sarnow trips. Gutyi bet 300,000 only to have Sarnow raise to 875,000. Gutyi moved all in and Sarnow called for his last 4,200,000. Sarnow was in need of a board pair or another ten or eight on the river, but instead, the 4 secured the pot and the title for Gutyi. Sarnow took home $43,330 USD as the runner-up finisher.
