$500k guarantees a tournament victory and includes three of the biggest mystery prizes.

Aaron Pinson has won the Borgata $2,200 Big, Big Mystery Bounty, taking home all three top prizes for a total of $199,825. He defeated Matt Glantz heads-up to win the trophy and the final $25,000 prize. Not only did Aaron Pinson win a $500,000 guaranteed tournament in Borgata, Atlantic City, he practically won the entire prize pool. Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration. But this $2,200 Big, Big Borgata Mystery Bounty (a 232-player No-Limit Hold'em tournament) champion has taken home all three top prizes. And, fittingly, he defeated Matt Glantz heads-up—the player who famously drew the $1 million mystery bounty at the 2023 WSOP—to win the final prize. Here's how it happened: In this Borgata Big, Big series tournament, Day 2 saw 24 players remaining. They were all in the money, and the mystery bounty phase began. There were two $50,000 bounties, no bigger than that. Pinson was the first player to eliminate an opponent on Day 2. He stepped forward and immediately won the first $50,000 bounty. His odds of winning were one in twelve. But this was just the beginning. Pinson had over 2.4 million $ in live tournament winnings at The Hendon Mob, and he continued accumulating chips throughout the day. His bounty was already comparable to the first-place prize. But this didn't stop him from continuing to collect bounties, including a $10,000 draw. Then, he went up and won the second $50,000 bounty. But he wasn't done yet. When Pinson and Glantz entered heads-up play, Pinson had already accumulated 130,000 chips from the available $250,000 bounty. The two players had nearly identical chip stacks. They agreed to split the prize pool, each receiving $44,825. However, they decided to flip a coin to determine who would win the trophy, and then each would draw one of their last two bounties. Pinson won the coin flip and thus won the trophy. He drew his last bounty, which happened to be the second largest denomination—$25,000. Glantz, through elimination, knew that his only bounty was worth $10,000. Pinson won a total of $199,825, representing 40% of the entire prize pool. A good day's work.

David Stefanski won the Borghata Big, Big Series Event 6: $10,200 Big, Big Baller, taking home $169,220. He dominated heads-up to defeat Michael Wong and broke his career $3 million live winnings mark. After two full days of Big, Big Baller battles at the Borghata Hotel Casino & Spa, the 69 entrants for Event 6: $10,200 Big, Big Baller were reduced to just one. That player was David Stefanski, who emerged victorious from a field of high-stakes players to win his first title in the Borghata Big, Big Series. As if the trophy wasn't sweet enough, Stefanski also took home a lovely first-place prize of $169,220, the peak of the $690,000 prize pool generated during the event's registration period. This included $149,260 from the three-way prize deal, and $19,960, which had to be contested further. Michael Wong also performed admirably, falling in the final round and losing the heads-up match. He left with a very solid consolation prize of $127,750. Drew O'Connell was the other player involved in the three-way ICM deal. He took home $156,675 for his efforts. Although he was the first of the three to be eliminated, he received the largest share of the prize money because he was the chip leader at the time.

However, things didn't go as planned, and he ultimately settled for second place. This time, he made sure the same thing wouldn't happen again. "The last heads-up experience was very different. I had a huge chip lead, but nothing just went right. Today against Mike (Wang), I got a really good hand. I was able to lock in the win." Stephenski completely dominated the match, chipping away at his opponent's chips until the trophy was his. That said, it wasn't just about him facing Wang. "I'm glad I went in with six and a half starting chips," Stephenski noted, referring to his seat at the start of Day Two. He successfully made the most of his chip stack, overtaking his opponent all the way up.

The RSOP Dongying Station Main Event saw 508 entries in the first round, with 88 players advancing. Yuan Haifeng and Du Shangze led the last remaining qualifiers.
