It might be the biggest reaction to a Mystery Bounty pull of the day from Roberto Romanello.
He peeled his envelope revealing a '5' which meant one thing: $500,000. Romanello pumped the air and celebrated as he took the solitary $500,000 bounty prize.
Here are the remaining payouts:

Action picked up on the river in a hand between Pei Li in the big blind and Kaifan Wang in the hijack.
With over 5,000,000 in the pot and the board reading 9♣9♠8♠Q♠4♥, Li bet out enough chips to put Wang all-in, who had roughly 3,000,000 behind.
Wang went deep into the tank, carefully assessing the situation before ultimately arriving at a fold.
As Li dragged in the pot, the other players at the tabled begged him to show a bluff. He flashed the 6♠, to keep them all guessing.
