Christopher also gets to pull a random Mystery Bounty envelope, and he opens up his envelope to reveal …

$000,000!

Yes, they literally printed six zeroes and put it in one of the Mystery Bounty envelopes to troll whoever pulled it. So the chipleader has pulled the biggest bounty and one of the third biggest, but when Christopher gets his chance, he pulls a big fat zero.

Cue the sad trombone.


HAND #22  –  Victor Avallone raises from the small blind to 300,000, taking the blinds and ante. This is the last hand of Level 27.
