Derwiche revealed the for the ace-king kickers with the pair on the board. Reixach showed the for the lower jack-kicker before Adams turned over his for the even lower kicker.

Derwiche was delighted to double through Reixach but was even more exited to be allowed to open the mystery bounty envelope. He walked over to the table with a little swagger, picked out an envelope, slowly revealed the paper inside to see he had won one of the two €100,000 mystery bounty prices, and celebrated loudly.

"Timothy! I love you!" he shouted while celebrating.

Adams walked over, hugged him: "I feel like I gave you that €100,000!" while the rest of the tournament room applauded.
