Hands of the Week: Bounties Galore at WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star, Hellmuth's Brutal River Bustout

The World Poker Tour (WPT) Bay 101 Shooting Star Championship returned to the schedule for the first time since 2017. The $5,300 buy-in tournament attracted 672 entries – including 75 Shooting Star bounties each worth $2,500 – and offered up a $3,225600 prize pool.

The tournament is currently on hiatus until December, which is when the final table of six will head to Las Vegas to play to a winner at a televised final table during the WPT World Championship. Kharlin Sued leads the pack, but poker pro Chance Kornuth, the last Shooting Star bounty remaining, is still in contention.
