Straight out of Compton...

Yes, action for the NAPT Los Angeles moved to the Crystal Casino in Compton, CA for the $5,000 Bounty Shootout. There will be two flights in the Shootout (five tables start at 11am and four tables start at 6pm), which was capped at 81 players. The nine single-table winners will earn $20,000 for advancing to the final table -- which will be played out Thursday.

Bounties are worth $1,000. The player with the most bounties will also win a seat into the 2011 PCA's 5K Bounty Shootout. The field is stacked, which is why it's a televised event. 441 Productions is here filming the Shootout.
