Glantz Gets the BIG Bounty Prize of $1,000,000

Matt Glantz

Matt Glantz was the next player to make his way to the chest to draw his bounty.

"I have my bounty hat on," he commented while walking up and smiling.

He decidedly looked at all the envelopes when the lid of the chest was opened. He picked one: "It's heavy..."

He opened the seal, and slowly peeled the paper back. "It's a one," he said with some excitement in his voice.

He then revealed a comma and that was enough for him to quickly reveal the rest.

"OH BABY!!!" he shouted while jumping up and down with the $1,000,000 bounty paper in his hand. "LET'S GO!"

He flexed his muscles, celebrated, and hugged Jeff Platt before Mike Dentale ran over to congratulate him.

"It's great to be lucky!" Glantz commented. "The trick is having Paul Volpe have 10 percent and and Shaun Deeb having 10 percent. With the luck of those two, it was just a matter of time."

First $100,000 Bounty Awarded to Timmons

David Timmons

David Timmons' name was shown on the screens as he was the next player who would be allowed to make his way to the stage and chest. He walked over, walked onto the stage, and was welcomed by Jeff.

He took a deep breath, pulled an envelope out, and quickly revealed the $100,000 bounty. He put both arms and hands up in the air.

He told Jeff Platt that this was his first World Series of Poker and spoke to his wife a few days ago who told him that he had to go out there!
