That wraps up PokerNews coverage of Day 6 of the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II, but we will be back tomorrow with continued coverage.
That continued coverage will include information about $40,000 NLH Mystery Bounty, which currently has 44 players remaining and will wrap up with 23 players remaining. Norway's Kayhan Mokri currently leads the field.
In the $4 Million Heads-Up Match, Wiktor Malinowski raised on the button and Ossi Ketola three-bet to $200,000. Malinowski went for it and four-bet jammed his stack of $2.3 million, and Ketola decided to call off with his stack of $1.7 million.
Ossi Ketola: Q♥9♥ 
Wiktor Malinowski: A♣Q♣
Ketola had decided to gamble and was dominated, but the board somehow ran out 8♣2♦5♦9♠8♦ as he paired his kicked to deliver a big beat to Malinowski.
Malinowski lost the rest of his stack shortly after and the two agreed to play another match before a tired Ketola goes to bed.
After a roller-coaster start to the $2 Million Heads-Up Match that quickly became a $4 Million Heads-Up Match, stacks are even as both Ossi Ketola and Wiktor Malinowski sit with around $2 million in front of them.
And most importantly, both players are enjoying themselves.
"Are you having fun," Ketola asked Malinowski.
"Yeah," he replied.
"Me too."
Late registration is closed and the prize pool is confirmed for the $40,000 NLH Mystery Bounty.
The event drew 133 runners for a prize pool of $2,660,000 and will see 23 spots paid. The eventual champion will receive $619,000, while a minimum cash will be worth $31,000.
And don't forget about the coveted mystery bounties that come into play on Day 2, which account for half of the prize pool.

Daniel Dvoress ran as purely as possible in $30,000 NLH 8-Handed to win his seventh Triton title, but he won't be winning an eighth in the $40,000 Mystery Bounty.
A five-bet pot saw Dvoress shoving and Chen Mingcong re-shoving to put the Canadian at risk.
Daniel Dvoress: A♥A♦
Mingcong Chen: K♥K♦
Dvoress was on the right side of the cooler before the flop landed K♠5♥8♥ to put Mingcong far in front with a set. The 6♥ turn gave Dvoress outs to a flush, but the Q♠ river bricked off to mark the seven-time champion's elimination.
After losing a nearly $2 million pot minutes into their heads-up match, Ossi Ketola has turned things around by winning a $3.5 million pot off Wiktor Malinowski.
Ketola held pocket kings for an overpair to crush Malinowski's top pair of queens with ace-queen. Kings have been the hand to beat this match as Malinowski's kings full beat Ketola's straight in the aforementioned hand.
A slow roll gone wrong saw Ossi Ketola losing a $1,810,000 pot against Wiktor "Limitless" Malinowski after a wild runout in the $2 Million Heads-Up Battle.
Less than a half hour into the match, the two played a big pot that saw Malinowski flopping top set and Ketola turning a straight.
All the chips got in on the turn, but it took Ketola some time as he slow rolled Malinowski with the nuts before stating that he felt like karma would see him losing the hand.
He was correct as the dealer paired the board on the river to send the nearly $2 million pot Malinowski's way as he locked up the first match. But Ketola wasn't done as he re-bought into the match for $2 million.
Another high-stakes Day 1 is underway at Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II as the field grows in $40,000 NLH Mystery Bounty.
Most notable in the field is poker G.O.A.T. Phil Ivey, who had a smile on his face earlier in the day as he chases his latest Triton title.
Leading the way as of now over the 70 remaining players is Norway's rising star Kayhan Mokri. Read about Mokri's rapid decent to poker's highest stakes here.
