The final table of Event #86: $1,979 Poker Hall of Fame Bounty No-Limit Hold’em, led by Peruvian all-time money list leader Diego Ventura, will kick off on Saturday, July 15th at 12 p.m. local time in the events center at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
The nine remaining hopefuls battled through a record-shattering field of 1,417 players for their chance at the $402,054 first-place prize and the coveted gold bracelet. A total prize pool of $2,465,590 was generated and each player is guaranteed to take home at least $32,897 for their efforts.

| 1 | Martin Jacobson | Sweden | 3,275,000 | 13 |
| 2 | Thomas Kysar | United States | 8,925,000 | 36 |
| 3 | Diego Ventura | Peru | 13,350,000 | 53 |
| 4 | Francis Anderson | United States | 1,625,000 | 7 |
| 5 | Jimmy Setna | Canada | 2,600,000 | 10 |
| 6 | Jose Nadal | Mexico | 2,825,000 | 11 |
| 7 | Jason James | Canada | 4,675,000 | 19 |
| 8 | Louie Torres | United States | 3,400,000 | 14 |
| 9 | Leonid Yanovski | Israel | 1,850,000 | 7 |
Ventura leads the way with 13,350,000, good for 53 big blinds, with Thomas Kysar in second place bagging up 8,925,000 and Canadian Jason James rounding out the top three with 4,675,000.
Not to be counted out is 2014 Main Event winner and perhaps future hall of famer, Martin Jacobson, who sits in the middle of the pack with 3,275,000. Jacobson will be looking to add a second bracelet to an already impressive resume.
It really is anyone's game considering the quick structure and average stack size. Players will return to Level 32 with blinds 125,000/250,000 and a 250,000 big blind ante. Each level is 40-minutes and there will be a 15-minute break after every three levels.
All the Hall of Fame Bounties have been eliminated, so from here on, it's straight up no-limit hold'em.

Play has begun, as the final nine in the Hall of Fame Bounty battle for the $402,054 first-place prize and the coveted gold bracelet.
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Louie Torres opened to 500,000 from early position and Jimmy Setna reshoved all in for 1,800,000 from the button, with Torres making the quick call.
Jimmy Setna: A♣K♥
Louie Torres: A♠A♥
It was a cooler for Setna, who would find little additional help on the 10♦8♥2♣ flop, but the J♥ turn did provide a bit of a sweat.
However, the brick 2♦ on the river secured the elimination and sent Setna to the payout desk.

Martin Jacobson moved all in and found a quick call from Thomas Kysar to his immediate left. The cards were tabled with Jacobson at risk.
Martin Jacobson: K♠K♥
Thomas Kysar: A♦K♦
Jacobson was ahead with his pocket kings, but Kyser took control after the A♣5♦10♣ flop. The 9♦ turn and 5♣ river were no help, ending Jacobson's run in seventh place.

Thomas Kysar raised to 1,000,000 from early position and Louie Torres moved all-in for 4,950,000 from the big blind.
Kysar made the call and the cards were on their backs.
Louie Torres: K♠K♥
Thomas Kysar: A♠Q♣
Torres was in good shape to score the double, but fell far behind Kysar on the 10♦8♣A♣ flop.
The 2♣ turn would leave Torres with only one available king and the 5♣ on the river would send the him to the payout desk.

Diego Ventura raised to 500,000 from early position and Jose Nadal moved all in for 1,575,000 from late position and, after some deliberation, Ventura made the call.
Jose Nadal: Q♠Q♥
Diego Ventura: 10♥9♦
The 4♥10♣J♣ flop would bring a bit of a sweat for the two players, and the 7♠ turn increased the number of outs for Ventura, however the 4♠ on the river locked up the much-needed double for Nadal.
