Heads Up in the $1,500 Bounty

[user127999]

The WSOP's first ever bounty event played all the way down to heads-up Friday before play was halted and an extra day added. A total of 34 players from a field of 2,178 began play Friday with the $333,351 first-place prize and WSOP gold bracelet in sight.

The final table was set just after 7 p.m. local time when Jose DeLaGuardia busted 10th. By the time they got heads-up, New Jersey's Jack Duong, who made fourth in the 2014 WSOP $3,000 Shootout, looked primed to win his first bracelet. However, the Czech Republic's Vitezslav Pesta refused to continue once ten levels of play were through, despite holding only 965,000 in chips to Duong's 15,380,000.

Play will resume at 1 p.m. local time Saturday with both players guaranteed at least $206,734.
