The live stream of this event, the RIU Reno VIII $235 Pro Bounty, just got underway. If you want to watch some poker commentated by Jamie Kerstetter & Kevin Martin you can do so at RunItUp.TV or simply by clicking the "Live Stream" tab above.
The elimination of Jason Somerville from the feature table means just two $300 Pro Bounties remain, and as fate would have it they're seated at the same table.
Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg and Eric Wemlinger are the last two donning bounty lanyards, which means $600 is still up for grabs.
A player got his last 24,000 all in preflop and found himself at risk against Ricky "RatedGTO" Guan.
Guan: 
Opponent: 
Guan had the superior ace and scored the knockout after the board ran out

Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg raised to 8,000 from the hijack and Cody Courtois defended his big blind to see a 
flop. The latter check-called a bet of 7,000 and then action went check-check on the 
turn.
When the 
completed the board on the river, Courtois led out for 7,000 and Spraggy wasted little time in folding.

With 22 players remaining it was the money bubble and hand-for-hand play was instituted.
Not long after, action folded to Brian Metzger on the button and he moved all in for his last 18,000, which Miguel Cardenas called from the big blind.
Cardenas: 
Metzger:
Metzger got it in good but failed to come out the winner as the board ran out 
to give Cardenas a flush.
Metzger's elimination in 22nd place means the remaining players are guaranteed a minimum payday of $400.
