The two big stories coming into the final table of the WPT bestbet Bounty Scramble Jacksonville on Wednesday were three-time WPT title winner Darren Elias, who could best the record for WPT titles with a win, and two-time WPT title champion Sam Panzica, who had the rare opportunity to not only become the first to win multiple titles at the same property, but also to do it in back-to-back years to defend the title.
The $5,000 buy-in Main Event attracted 323 entries and 41 players made the money. Some notables to cash in the event but fall short of the final table included Ian O'Hara (35th), Dean Baranowski (33rd), Matt Affleck (25th), Sean Winter (24th), Barry Hutter (18th), Sam Soverel (12th), Jessica Dawley (11th) and Alex Rocha (ninth).
