The board ran out to give the big pot to Rathi, shorten Bagheri and eliminate Phewa.
Phewa then went to cash in his four bounty chips and draw envelopes. He dramatically peeled each one as the room watched and rooted for the $40,000 to come off, while the remaining players with bounties anti-sweated the $40,000 jackpot.

On the last one he chose to quickly whip it open and reveal it to the crowd watching first, but it was another $400 as he got the minimum from the four bounty cards.
