After just more than six hours of play, the six tables are now down to one. Here are the the six players who made it complete with how many bounties they earned.
Luis Vazquez (4)
Shawn Buchanan (4)
Jason Mercier (3)
Matt Glantz (2)
Sam Stein (3)
Faraz Jaka (3)
Each player making it through to the final table has a shot to earn the winner-take-all first-place prize, which as of right now is undetermined. For winning their table, Buchanan, Mercier, Glantz, Stein and Jaka all won $60,000. Vazquez won a little less with $50,000 because he won the table that began with only five players.
On top of that, each bounty was worth $5,000. Don't forget about the automatic seat for the next NAPT bounty event up for grabs for the player who claims the most bounties. With a total of $25,000 in bounties still up for grabs and the first-place prize, this should make for an exciting final table.
The remaining players will return tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. local time. We'll see you back here then at PokerNews for all the coverage.
