The big moment came shortly before the final table, when Kevin O’Donnell scored an elimination and pulled the $25,000 envelope to claim the big prize.

Stephen Song has collected four bounties to Kevin O’Donnell’s three, but Song’s earnings ($2,500 + $1,000 + $1,000 = $4,500) pale in comparison to O’Donnell’s ($25,000 + $2,500 + $1,000 = $28,500).
