HAND #12  –  Jason Christopher completes the small blind to 150,000, and Tyler Hancock checks his option in the big blind. The flop comes Diamond 9Diamond 8Heart 7, Christopher checks, Hancock bets 150,000, and Christopher folds. Hancock takes the pot.


HAND #13  –  Jacob Stufflebean bets 325,000, Daniyal Gheba reraises from the hijack to 900,000, and Stufflebean calls.

The flop comes Heart 10Diamond 4Club 2, Stufflebean checks, Gheba bets 600,000, and Stufflebean check-raises to 1,200,000. Gheba moves all in, and Stufflebean tanks for about a minute before he calls all in for about 4,200,000 with Heart 6Diamond 6.

But Gheba turns over Spade ADiamond 10, and Stufflebean needs to catch a six or something runner-runner to stay alive.

The turn card is the Spade 7, the river card is the Club J, and geb wins the pot with his pair of tens to eliminate Stufflebean in ninth place.

Daniyal Gheba  –  17,300,000  (115 bb)
Jacob Stufflebean  –  Eliminated in 9th Place  ($20,000)

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

$200,000!

Gheba pulls the biggest of the eight mystery bounties on the first elimination of the night, and the chipleader gets literally richer after scoring the first knockout of the night.
