Costiniano Bests 414, Wins Mystery Bounty
With the original GTD prize pool more than doubled, the Philippines’ John Niko Costiniano takes the crown in (Event #32) the Mystery Bounty.
Costiniano also pockets the top purse of PhP584,000 (~US$10,395) in the victory that saw the original PhP2,000,000 (~US$35,590) obliterated as the final payouts came from PhP4,265,380 (~US$75,910). The Filipino also amassed PhP76,000 (~US$1,350) in bounties alone.
Second place went to Leon Steward of the United States for PhP360,000 (~US$6,405) while Shigenori Komatsu of Japan finished in third for PhP264,000 (~US$4,700).
Filipino Jeffrey Ponce collected the most bounties for a staggering PhP315,000 (~US$5,605), wildly eclipsing his prize money as the tournament’s eighth placer for PhP76,000 (~US$1,350).
With the victory, Costinano also picks up an APPT Manila Main Event seat while the other Final Table participants get APPT Super Qualifier packages worth PhP9,000 (~US$160).
