Roberto Martinez moves all in from UTG+1 for 65,000, Luis Gonzalez moves all in over the top from the hijack for 140,000, and chipleader Tomas Szwarcberg calls from the cutoff.

Here are their cards in descending order of chip counts:

Tomas Szwarcberg:  
Luis Gonzalez:  
Roberto Martinez:  

The board comes , and Gonzalez pairs his ace on the flop to win the entire pot, doubling thru Szwarcberg and eliminating Martinez in ninth place.

Luis Gonzalez  –  395,000  (20 bb)
Tomas Szwarcberg  –  810,000  (41 bb)
Roberto Martinez  –  Eliminated in 9th Place  ($6,200)

For scoring the first knockout inside the money, Gonzalez gets the first pick from the nine Mystery Bounties, and he asks his wife/girlfriend Melissa to make the pick for him.

Melissa draws … $15,000! It’s the fourth largest bounty, which is a pretty nice draw.
