The two players who would eventually get heads up started the final table as the two chip leaders, and the duo would maintain their status as big stacks throughout.
Fletcher caught an early knockout at the final table, when he flopped a club flush against "RyDee" after they had gotten it all in preflop both holding ace-ten.
Next, it was "spinach_kale" who would get lucky after hitting the river to knock "Jinxy" out in sixth place.
It would go back to Fletcher for the next two eliminations. First, he would take out "TheTerminator1" in fifth Place, and then busted Alex "JinYang" Butcher in fourth.
Anthony ��Flawlissbinkage�� Maio would bust in third place, and it looked like there would be a lengthy heads-up battle, with both players rather deep. However, a preflop cooler of sorts would develop, with Fletcher holding pocket kings while "spinach_kale" had ace-ten. Fletcher was in the lead, but an ace came right on the flop, and just like that, the tournament was over!
The Progressive Bounty tournaments continues tomorrow (Friday, July 31) with another $10,000 Guaranteed Event. Just like today, the buy-in is $109, and the action kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET. See you guys then!
