Akash Mazumdar took down our Black Chip Bounty here at Texas Card House Houston for $5,340, a mountain of black chip bounties, and a beautiful Atlas trophy last night. Mazumdar is a sixteen-year tournament veteran and this cash brings his lifetime winnings total to over $125,000.
Event #10 - $350 NLH - Black Chip Bounty — Wrap Up
The Black Chip Bounty drew 92 entries, creating a $18,400 prize pool with an additional $9,200 set aside for bounties. A packed room and a lively photo gallery capture the mix of Texas smiles and bounty hunting intensity as players chased knockouts and a top heavy payout.
Charles Davis, fresh off winning the $140 Monster Stack earlier in the day, stayed in contention deep enough to make us wonder if he could win two events in on eday, but the finish ultimately belongs to Akash Mazumdar of Wallingford, Connecticut. Mazumdar navigated the final table and converted his momentum into the outright win and the $5,340 first prize. Jeffrey Nowling was our runner up for $3,570, while Hao Vu took third for $2,400.
