Each player making it through to the final table earned $75,000 for winning their table table. On top of that, each bounty was worth $5,000. Don't forget about the $100,000 up for grabs for the player who claims the most bounties. With a total of $30,000 in bounties still up for grabs and a first-place prize of $460,000, this should make for an exciting final table.
The remaining players will have a day off tomorrow and then return Thursday at 2:00 p.m. local time. We'll see you back here then at PokerNews for all the coverage.
Don't forget to check back here for the coverage of the Main Event final table tomorrow as well. See you then!
