Dumitru Pora walked back over to his table with a $25,000 bounty ticket in his hand and placed it in front of Manuel Fischer.

"Woooah!", said Fischer, "How do you do that?!".

The table asked what was going on. Pora had just pulled Fischer's bounty for him and he'd pulled the biggest remaining prize. Fischer thought it was some kind of bluff or trick. It wasn't. He got up and hugged his opponent.

There are no more $25,000 prizes left in the box and just one more $10,000 to pull. Here's what's left.
