Christopher Burleson raised all in from the cutoff for 745,000, and Jose Gutierrez flicked in a chip to make the call in the big blind.
Christopher Burleson: Q♦10♠ 
Jose Gutierrez: A♠10♣
The flop brought great news for Burleson with Q♣9♣5♥ pairing his queen, leaving Gutierrez looking for running broadway cards to eliminate Burleson.
With a turn card of the 2♦ Gutierrez needed an ace to improve to claim Burleson’s bounty.
No help came for Gutierrez as the river card showed a 6♣. It was a sigh of relief for Burleson as he doubled through.

Is Thomas Zanot the luckiest gambler ever? The poker player from Arizona pulled the second $1 million mystery bounty at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) on Sunday, and it isn't even close to his biggest jackpot.
Day 2 of Event #1: $1,000 Mystery Millions, a tournament that reached 19,654 entrants, has been quite a thriller, and it hasn't even come close to reaching the final table. That is because the mystery bounty element is in play, and two individuals have already become millionaires.
