In what was a pretty insane moment in the Mystery Bounty event, Matthias Lipp picked out one of the $75,000 bounties just before the dinner break. He shouted, he cheered, then he went in to pull another. Lipp picked out a second $75,000 prize in a row, along with a $5,000 and a couple of $1,000s to give him over $150,000 in bounties.
Lipp has already earned almost as much as the second place finisher is set to earn.
During the dinner break, Alessandro Pichierri also pulled the last remaining $40,000 bounty.

The remaining 48 players have been sent on a 65-minute dinner break. Play will resume at approximately 8:50 p.m. local time
Action was on the flop on a board of 5♣2♦9♥ and Stefano Pizzuti was already all in with his last few thousand in the middle postflop. Arthur Thiriart put in a big raise and Apoorva Goel called to create a side pot of around 220,000.
The turn was the 7♥ and Thiriart fired out a bet of 170,000. Goel then moved all in and Thiriart called all in for 576,000 total.
Goel had K♥K♦ for an overpair, but Thiriart turned over 2♠2♣ for a set of deuces and was way ahead, leaving Goel drawing to a king on the river.
The river came the 5♥ and Thiriart held to win a huge pot, sending Pizzuti to the rail and chipping up to over 1.2 million, putting him as the chip leader heading into the dinner break.

Both players had diamonds in their hands as the board came 9♦4♦J♦Q♣2♣ to give them both a flush on the flop. Der Megreditchian had the nut flush to win the pot, sending Zoufri out of the tournament.
