The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online is reaching its midpoint on GGPoker and saw four more gold bracelets dished out over the weekend.

Events such as the Million Dollar Mystery Bounty, $10K Heads-Up Championship and the Millionaire Maker all reached their conclusion while the Super MILLION$ High Roller determined its final nine players.

Tapio Vihakas Takes Down Million Dollar Mystery Bounty

The long awaited final table of Event #7: Million Dollar Mystery Bounty played out on Saturday, August 27, and was broadcasted on GGPoker's Youtube Channel, which was watched by tens of thousands.

While the sought after million dollar bounty was pulled on Day 2 by Scott Ball, there was still plenty up for grabs as a WSOP bracelet and the $367,953 up top awaited the winner. It took several Day 1 flights and a Day 2 to whittle the field of 51,003 entries down to the final nine, with the remaining players looking to grab the lion's share of the $10,200,600 prize pool.

Alexey Solntsev was the first player to leave the final table. He moved all in from the big blind with ace-seven after Hyunsup Kim opened the action with pocket sixes. Kim called and his hand remained best to send Solntsev to the rail on the very first hand of the day.

The next bust out would the take place around 90 minutes later, with Rytis Strigunas putting in his short stack with king-queen. Diogo Ferreira Da Silva woke up in the big blind and called with ace-ten. Strigunas flopped a flush draw and a straight draw to broadway but was unable to leapfrog his opponent on the turn or river.

Kubanychbek Abakirov was the next final table casualty thanks to a preflop cooler. Abakirov shipped in the last of his stack with ace-king but was unable to improve against Tapio Vihakas' pocket kings. Kim then got his second knockout of the day after his ace-queen held out to best ace-six of Timo De Smet.

Five soon became four after Vihakas downed Ferriera in a blind versus blind confrontation. Ferreira committed his stack with nine-six and the eventual winner found the call with king-five. Neither player connected on run out meaning Vihakas' high card was enough to give them the winner.

Start of day chip leader Mark Waal was the short stack at four-handed play and sent his stack with ace-queen. Kim called with pocket eights and a clean runout gave the Japanese poker player his third final table knockout. Kim's onslaught continued, with Vincent Huang being their next target. The pair put their stacks into the middle of the table with latter at risk of elimination. Huang's ace-deuce was dominated by Kim's ace-queen. The ace-queen flopped two pair to leave Huang drawing slim and Kim ended up making a boat as the board completed with another ace.

Vihakas had a narrow chip lead heading into heads-up play but Kim would take a commanding chip lead just ten minutes latter. Vihakas then turned the tides after doubling up with king-queen against his opponent's pocket fives. Vihakas then sealed the victory as his pair of threes survived the ace-king of Kim.

The Finnish national collected the $348,723 first-place prize and his first WSOP bracelet while Kim had to settle for the $261,490 set aside for the runner-up.
