With both Tyler Montoya and Thomas Zanot bagging the elusive $1,000,000 bounties early on Day 2, and most of the other major envelopes already claimed, just one significant bounty remains. A $25,000 prize is still in play, but with the payouts now climbing rapidly, will anyone be willing to gamble for it or will laddering take priority as the stakes get higher?
Each player has already locked up a minimum of $39,180, but the biggest mystery of them all will be solved today as someone will win the bracelet, the million, and the glory.
Remaining Payouts
Action resumes at 11 a.m. local time, with final day coverage also available on PokerGO starting at 5 p.m. with a two-hour delay. Blinds remain 40 minutes long, and play will continue until a champion is crowned later today.
Stay tuned to PokerNews for live coverage from start to finish as we follow the action until the final card hits the felt.

Michael Wilklow raised to 4,000,000 from under the gun. Action folded around to Christopher Zollo in the big blind, who went all in for 9,300,000. After some thought, Wilklow made the call and was slightly ahead.
Christopher Zollo: K♣Q♥ 
Michael Wilklow: A♣8♠
The dealer fanned out a flop of 9♥8♣10♣, "Jack on the turn," Zollo exclaimed. The dealer instead placed the Q♦ on the turn, which put Zollo in the lead. The river was an unconsequential 4♥, giving Zollo a much-needed double up.

: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
George Tatalovich opened to 6,000,000 from the hijack and Demarco Howard shoved from the button for 9,775,000. Daniel Westphal was in the small blind and after getting the count, he shoved for 24,500,000. Tatalovich didn't need too long to think before he made the call, which put two players at risk.
Demarco Howard: 7♣7♥
Daniel Westphal K♠K♥
George Tatalovich: A♦Q♣
Howard had picked up sevens and ran with it, but Westphal had the Cowboys behind and was looking to more than double up. Tatalovich had a chance to eliminate two players in one swift motion, but didn't get any closer to doing so on the 5♣5♥3♥ flop.
A 5♠ on the turn gave both Howard and Westphal a full house, but also gave Tatalovich an extra out as he could make quads with an ace-kicker if a five hit the river. Instead, a 9♠ rolled off, meaning Westphal scooped and Howard was out in 20th.

: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Wesley Fei raised from the button to 5,000,000 and Michael Acevedo made the call from the big blind.
The flop came K♠3♦7♥ and Acevedo decided to check-raise Fei's 2,500,000 continuation bet to 6,275,000. Fei called.
The turn brought the 2♠ and Acevedo checked again. Fei bet out for 6,000,000. Acevedo went into the tank and then announced that he was all in. Fei snap called.
Michael Acevedo: K♥3♥
Wesley Fei: A♦K♣
Michael Acevedo had flopped two pair, and as Fei shouted 'Pair The Board!' the river didn't oblige with the J♣ falling to give Acevedo a full double up.

Cameron Blazevich raised to 4,000,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Artem Riabov in the big blind who shoved for 33.550,000. Blazevich snap-called with the bigger stack.
Artem Riabov: Q♥Q♣
Cameron Blazevich: K♠K♣
The board ran out 2♣2♦5♠10♥Q♠ for Riabov to hit the river for a full house to double up with.

Action folded around to Benjamin Eilers in the small blind, he went all in for roughly 17,000,000. After some thought Michael Marks made the call out of the small blind having Eilers covered.
Benjamin Eilers: A♠5♣
Michael Marks: K♣Q♦
The dealer ran out a board of 8♥Q♠K♦K♠J♦ sending Eilers to the payout desk in 19th place
