Manila Megastack Mystery Bounty Conclusion

Level 27: 30,000 / 60,000 ante: 60,000

Jeffrey Ponce - Manila Megastack Mystery Bounty Champion

Finishing Runner-Up in Flight A on Sunday and entering the final day as 5th in chips, Jeffrey Ponce continued to chip up throughout the day, making it to the final table as 4th in chips. Eliminating Yuki Nishio in 8th place with KJ against AJ was a big break, inducing a bluff with top pair against Michael De Leon saw him extend his lead and later eliminating him in 4th place to enter the three-way deal with more chips than 2nd and 3rd combined.

Talking about 2nd and 3rd, the double elimination stole their spotlight, but Michael Cerbito had a great run closing the deal in 2nd with P282,500 from the regular prize pool and an additional P41,000 in bounties and 3rd place Francisco Sanchez, who was extremely active from the get go taking home 267,500 from the deal and six bounties worth a whopping P391,000, making him the biggest winner of the day.

Well done to everyone and we will leave you with the final rankings of the Mystery Bounty Final:

Level 21: 8,000 / 16,000 ante: 16,000

Yuki Nishio Goes Into The Lead

Level 19: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000

Yuki Nishio

With a 20,000 open from Yuki Nishio in CO we see SB Vivencio Nachor Jr. pump it up to 55,000 to see the flop 3♥ Q♦ 9♣ heads up. A 20,000 c-bet and a call take us to the turn 2♥ for another continuation of 75,000 to go into the middle. With the aid of a time bank, Yuki Nishio finds the call to see the river J♠ . Another 150,000 from Vivencio Nachor Jr. gets called by Yuki Nichio, holding 3♠ 3♣ and the aggressor's cards go straight into the muck.
