MYSTERY BOUNTY (200$ TO BOUNTY POOL) ($675)

Nguyen Quoc Cuong opened to 10,000 and was swiftly met with an all-in shove from Quynh Thai. Without hesitation, Cuong called, flipping over A♠ Ts—only to find himself in a classic race against Thai’s T♣ T♦.

But the flop was brutal: 2♣ A♦ 4d—an ace right in the window, turning the tide instantly and putting Thai on the brink of elimination. The Q♥ and 4♣ sealed her fate with no saving ten in sight. A♠ Cuong calmly stacked his newly won chips, Thai walked away in silence, her run cut short in heartbreaking fashion.
