It's 2:00 a.m. here in Uncasville, Connecticut, so we're going to keep this short and sweet. After two separate flights in the $10,000 High Roller Bounty Shootout, the final table has been set. Finding their way to the winner's circle at their first table were Michael Pesek, Eugene Katchalov, Scott Blackman, Micah Raskin, Joe Sweeney, Jason Mercier, Jonathan Jaffe, Taylor von Kriegenbergh and Jimmie Guinther.
Mercier is the defending champion of this event and much like Vanessa Selbst is trying to do in the $5,000 Main Event, he'll be trying to go back to back. he's already leading the bounty race with six and could also claim that prize.
