I'd be shocked if he didn't know about the bonus. Those guys know there window to win money isn't that great so they're looking to maximize every payday they can. Still sucks for him.

According to this Fox Sports article:

he beat the 2nd place by only 2 seconds. It does seem to be all he had. confused
