It was quite the rollercoaster for Sharmark Mohamed today as he was up and down the stacks all day. Earlier in the day he said he was down to just a few big blinds a couple of times and he was one of the short stacks to start the final table but managed to find a double with play 8-handed to get up to more than 600k.

He was closing in on a million when he doubled up Larry Hill (5th, $2,117) to drop back to about 700k. He sent Hill to the rail shortly after and never looked back from there. He doubled to just shy of a million through Shane Hall (3rd, $3,575), then sent Hall to the rail shortly after to stack up 1.65 million to start the heads-up phase. That was more than double his opponent, Preston Stevenson, and he was never really at risk during the final phase.

In the final hand, Mohamed shoved a king and Stevenson called off at risk with an ace. Both players whiffed on the flop, but Mohamed nailed his kicker on the turn. Stevenson was still live drawing to either of his cards, as well as a four-card spade flush,  but the river was a brick for him to send the pot and the trophy to Mohamed.

The Bounty game is over with Preston Stevenson as the runner-up tonight. He was the short stack for all of heads up with winner Sharmark Mohamed at 2:1 for much of it. They mostly played a small ball game with a lot of limped pots but near the end it turned into a bit of a shove/fold fest.

In the final hand, Mohamed shoved a king from the button and Stevenson called to put himself at risk with an ace. Both players missed the flop but Mohamed smashed the turn with his kicker. Stevenson still had outs to a spade, however, but the river was the wrong colour of black and Mohamed's five played for the win.

It's heads up now after short stack Shane Hall sent his chips over to the stack of Preston Stevenson.

Shane Hall raised the button to 90k and Sharmark Mohamed defended his big blind with a call. They both checked the flop but Mohamed led for 60k on the turn. Hall reraised to 150k and got the call.

The river was and Mohamed check-shoved over a bet of 80k. Hall called but his ace-king for two pair was no good against the straight for Mohamed with six-five.

They are down to three now after short-stack Colten Yamagishi hit the rail in 4th place tonight, though I missed the action as I was out of the room.

They are down to 4 now after Larry Hill sent his stack to Sharmark Mohamed. Hill shoved the cutoff and Mohamed called from the small blind, as did Shane Hall from the big. Both active players checked down the board for Mohamed's ace-four turned it against ace-six for Hill while Hall mucked.

Sharmark Mohamed raised the cutoff to 50k and got a call from Shane Hall on the button. The flop was and Hall called another bet of 50k. Mohamed fired 100k on the turn and got another call. He bumped it up to 200k on the river and Hall called pretty quickly with the nut flush against .

"You just call the nut flush?" asked Preston Stevenson. Hall noted that the board paired on the river so he was worried about the boat.

Larry Hill shoved the cutoff and Sharmark Mohamed called from the small blind. Mohamed was dominating with queen-jack into queen-nine but Hill hit a nine on the all-heart  flop. The turn was also a heart which had Mohamed calling for a fifth heart for the chop, but the river was a diamond and the double went to Hill.

They are down to five left now after Jon Jacquard hit the rail in 6th place. I missed the action but Sharmark Mohamed was seen stacking his chips.

It was a race when Gary Sandhu shoved fro about 100k and Colten Yamagishi reshoved from his left. Sandhu had for a flip against the pocket fives of Yamagishi. There was a five on the flop to set Yamagishi up for the bounty and the set held.

"I'm back," said Yamagishi with a smile as he's rebuilding since being nearly felted by the treys of Sharmark Mohamed.

Sharmark Mohamed raised to 50k under the gun, then snap-called when Colten Yaagishi shoved the bigger stack from the big blind. Mohamed had pocket threes for a race against the for Yamagishi. Yamagish turned a flush draw but that was as much as he could get and the threes held for the win.

Colten Yamagishi has the big stack at the moment, but there's not much in it. Four players have in the 400k range right now with Yamagishi just under 500k while the short stack right now is Sharmark Mohamed with 200k.

In one of the final hands of the previous level, Larry Hill opened to 25k from the hijack and Colten Yamagishi reraised the small blind to 78k. Hill called to the flop where Yamagishi slid out 36k. Hill came over the top to 100k to get the fold from Yamagishi.

There is a break following this level and I'll grab chips for everyone then.

They are down to 7 left in the bounty now after Jun Lee busted on 8th place while I was writing up the previous hand.

Sharmark Mohamed opened to 25k from the hijack and Shane Hall called from the cutoff. Mohamed fired 20k on the flop and Hall flat-called to the turn. Mohamed counted out 55k, but then had to fold when Hall shoved a covering stack in response.

They are down to 8 left in the bounty now after Marc Lavergne was the first off the final table. I missed the action while getting the pictures sorted.

They are down to nine now after DJ Sharma got it in with queen-jack but ran into the pocket jacks for Colten Yamagishi. The jacks held and Yamagishi had about 5 more than Sharma.

Larry Hill raised the button to 21k and Preston Stevenson called fro the big blind. He led the flop for 23k and got a call, but when he fired 43k on the river Hill folded. Meanwhile on the other table, Cindy Grabia hit the rail for 11th place.

Kevin Schell was the first player out in the money tonight for his third cash of the series. He Chopped the turbo the other night, then final tabled the NLH/PLO mix before min-cashing this one.

The marathon bubble is now complete and Arnold Groot was the unfortunate bubble tonight. He shoved pocket deuces from the cutoff but ran into pocket nines from Shane Hall in the big blind. Both players flopped a set and turned the boat, but the nines full of aces for Hall beat the deuces full of aces for Groot.

They've player 13 hands on the bubble and there are still 13 players left. There is one more hand in Level 16 before the blinds move up.

Here is a look at the final 13 stacks in play tonight.

Wednesday is Bounty Day. $50 bounties combine with $250 for the prizes with bounties in play from the first hand. Players get 20k to start and will play 25-minute levels until a winner is decided.

There are 10 levels of late entry for this one, so players can get a seat at the table as late as 7:40 pm. This will be my only focus for Wednesday but I will likely be late to the floor as Tuesday was a very long day
