Event #19 - $250 NLH Bounty Roundup

Jeff Nowling took the big side of a three-way chop and goes home with this season's Atlas trophy in this unique Bounty Round Up format. Nowling had a piece of the bounties as well after he and second place finisher Dzhordzh Beshar agreed to a small deal between them on the final table bubble. The three-handed battle went on for quite some time before the deal was done, with Beshar as the chip leader for most of the final table, but one big hand gave Nowling the chip lead and the deal was done soon after.

Nowling is a serious tournament player from Houston, with nearly half a million dollars in tournament winnings. Most of his scores have been in Houston, Dallas, and Las Vegas. He also finished second in event #10 in this series, the only other bounty event, just three days ago. A true bounty hunter!

Player Feature: Phu 'Bad Boy' Vo

Phu "Bad Boy" Vo hails from Katy, Texas, and has been making waves in the poker world since 2022. Vo's introduction to the game began with home games, but he quickly transitioned to tournament play, where his aggressive style has earned him significant success. His first major result came in 2022 at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, where he placed 5th out of 6,134 entries in a $400 buy-in event, earning $136,000.

Since then, Vo has continued to build on his success with two more six-figure cashes in Houston. In April 2025, he secured another 5th place finish, taking home $100,000 in an event with a $2 million guarantee. He followed this up in May 2026 with a 2nd place finish, pocketing $160,000. Outside of poker, Vo is a business owner, and his table presence has earned him the nickname "Bad Boy," a moniker that started from his habit of warning opponents not to bluff him.
