Another IBC winner, Vitsituo Mepfhuo aka ‘Phantom’ also finished in the money, cashing out at 31^st along with shipping the IBC #4.

Gutshot got in touch with Bhadu after his win, and he had this to say about the gameplay leading up to his win, “The players were super tight in the final stages. I was on a short stack and took advantage of the situation. When I had a solid stack, I began bluffing and it worked pretty well for me both the times.”

Talking about the format, he added, “I love the concept of Bounties – high value and good returns. Thank you MadOverPoker for a wonderful Bounty Championship.”
