Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Chris Ferguson
Chris Ferguson

A player limped and it was raised to 12,000 by another player before Chris Ferguson decided to shove for a stack of 73,500. Only the initial limper called with the exact same stack and the players tabled their cards:

Chris Ferguson: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
His opponent: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Ferguson was in good shape to double up and eliminate his opponent, which he dis after the board came {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}{k-Hearts}, improving his hand into a set of kings.

Gediminas Uselis raised under the gun to 6,500 and a player called before Alex Foxen moved all in for a stack worth 46,000 on the button. Uselis tanked for some time before making the call and the third player called all in as well for a smaller stack.

Alex Foxen: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Gediminas Uselis: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Third Player: {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The board brought {a-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Foxen's jacks held to give him the winning hand and take down the pot.

At 11 a.m. local time, cards go in the air in the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino for one of the new event of the series; the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Super Turbo Bounty. With levels of just 20 minutes, the action is expected to move quickly throughout, with players encouraged to gamble it up even further thanks to a $500 bounty awarded for each takedown.

All players will receive 25,000 in chips to start, blinds will kick off at 100/100, and late registration is open for 12 levels, which is until about 3:40 p.m. local time. The players will have a 20-min break every 6 levels and a 75-min dinner break after the 18th level of play (≈ 5:40 p.m.). Bounties cannot be redeemed until after 6:00 p.m. on Day 1.

This is the second and last single-day event of the series, with a champion being crowned at the end of the night.
