The popular Event #51: $10K Mystery Bounty NLH attracted a total of 558 entries, generating a prizepool of $5,189,400. This tournament combines classic poker skills with the thrill of unknown rewards for knocking out opponents.
The high stakes were evident as the star player Josh Reichard managed to pull a $100,000 bounty even before reaching the final table. The largest bounty, worth $250,000, went to Gregor Sverko, who finished in 7th place in the tournament.
Reichard was among the frontrunners for the title, but his hopes for a first bracelet were dashed by Alex Anton in the final three matchup. In a decisive hand, Reichard, holding J-10, needed help against Anton’s sevens, but a seven on the turn gave the eventual champion a full house, sealing Reichard’s fate.
The heads-up finale against Frenchman Julien Sitbon was wrapped up swiftly. In the final hand, Anton held 7 h 6 h while Sitbon had a pair of T d T c. After the turn 5 d A h 4 s 3 d, Anton completed a straight. Sitbon then went all-in, handing the victory to Anton, marking the biggest career achievement for him so far.
