Just a day after securing The Big Event’s Main Event title, poker pro Victor Ramdin was back at the Bicycle Casino poker tables to take part in the $10K ESPN Bounty Shootout tournament, and after winning his table Ramdin found himself in position to win back-to-back tournaments as he advanced to the 9-player final table on Saturday.

In addition to the $40k he picked up for winning his round 1 table, Ramdin also collected $8,000 in bounties with his four eliminations –with each elimination in the first round worth $2,000. The final table will be played in a winner-take-all format, with the eventual winner collecting $171,700; everyone else will walk away with $40,000 plus any bounties they have collected.

Joining Ramdin in the winner’s circle on Day 1b of the tournament was John Smith, Joe Tehan, Matt Woodward and Ali Eslami, all of whom will join yesterday’s winners Jonathan Duhamel, Shane Schleger, Pat Walsh and Alex Keating.

The bounties at the final have been increased from $2,000 to $10,000, and there will be a bonus for the player who collects the most overall bounties during the tournament. Here is a look at the Bounty Leaders heading into the Final Table:

·    Shawn Buchanan* 5
