First Million Dollar Bounty Has Gone to Shabelnyk
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Ukraine's Valentyn Shabelnyk rushed to the stage when it was his turn as he was in the big blind for the next hand and quickly revealed the $1,000,000 bounty without any delay. He did stick around with Jeff Platt for a quick reaction but was very eager to return to his table and he wasn't going to let anyone steal his big blind.
Shabelnyk has over $1.2 million in live tournament winnings according to The Hendon Mob and has now almost doubled that with just this bounty.
He started the day with just over half a million in chips and increased that to 1,100,000, so he might be claiming more bounties later today.
