Dan Matsuzuki was one of two players eliminated on the money bubble when his pocket queens were cracked by the ace-king of Kunal Shah. Since they were eliminated at the same time, Matsuzuki and the other player were able to split a minimum payout.

The remaining players from the four starting flights will return for Day 2 on Tuesday, July 5 and be eligible to draw for the top bounty prize of $1,000,000 if they have eliminated an opponent.
Stay tuned as the PokerNews live reporting team will be back tomorrow for continued coverage of Event #68: $1,000 Million Dollar Bounty No-Limit Hold'em leading up to the drawing of the elusive $1,000,000 bounty.

Sow Puts On Some Pressure
Nível 22
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Action was caught on a 
flop between Kalidou Sow in the blinds and Kyle Gross in early position.
Both players checked the flop to the 
turn. Gross bet one big blind, 25,000, and Sow check-raised to 140,000. Gross did not think too much and called.

Aden Rides Broadway Over 1,000,000 Mark
Nível 21
: 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Early position opened to 60,000, getting calls from Jason Aden in middle position and the big blind.
On the 
flop, the preflop aggressor continued for 130,000. After some deliberation, Aden jammed for about 450,000. The big blind folded. His opponent called him, covering him by just 15,000, less than a single big blind.
Jason Aden: 
Opponent:
Aden had flopped the nut straight, and his opponent was in rough shape. He would need runner-runner to try and make a full house or quads, or a straight on the board for a chop. Those outs were all entirely erased as a brick arrived on the turn in the form of the 
. The 
hit on the river, improving the opponent to trips, but it was far from enough to beat Aden's straight. Aden scooped the pot to double up and left his opponent's stack decimated.
