Richey picked up three bounties in the first round for $15,000 and gets $75,000 for winning his first table. Plus, after he collects his $90,000, he can go back to sleep.
Griffin further extends his chip lead, nearing the 400,000 chip mark. Griffin also gets Richey's $5,000 bounty, which has to make Scott Seiver happy.
