Luciano Hollanda Leads Final 21 Event #19: $840 6-Handed Bounty; Feng and Maimone Still in Contention
The back end of the 2021 GGPoker WSOP Online Bracelet Events has had some bangers but none with nearly as much action as Event #19: $840 6-Handed Bounty No-Limit Hold'em showed today. This event drew a total of 2,053 entries, creating a $1,642,400 prize pool, and now just 21 are left in the hunt for the title.
Brazil claimed the top three spots on the leaderboard by night's end and it was Luciano Hollanda sitting atop the field with his 4,139,237 in chips, putting him in the most capable spot toward taking down the $66,950 first-place prize. Right behind is fellow-countrymen Kelvin Kerber (4,084,052) and Eder "BlueMoon" Campana (3,969,603). Campana was an early notable leader that managed to overcome a plummet towards the abyss during the final stages of the night, bouncing back from a near deficit to sitting just three big blinds behind the leader.
Two bracelet holders will be returning tomorrow in search of their second. Huahuan "F7588" Feng and Nick Maimone are placed in the middle of the pack with just one big blind difference in chips between them. Each possesses the ability to guide their way through an online WSOP final table, and that was proven during the GGPoker WSOP Online series last August of 2020, when a bracelet was awarded to each. Look for each of these heavy-hitters to come out swinging tomorrow in hopes of adding a second piece of jewelry to their collection.
