Mike Del Vecchio was the first player to go to one of the tablets to claim a bounty and saw $1,000 appear but on his second try, he saw the gold chest appear.
He quickly made his way to the chest in the middle of the room where Jeff Platt welcomed him. He pulled an envelope and peeled it to eventually see he won $25,000 for this bounty.
Jorge Rios shoved from the cutoff for about 300,000, Sangmook Jung shoved from the small blind for 430,000 and Yannick Durand called all in for less.
