MYSTERY BOUNTY (200$ TO BOUNTY POOL) ($675)

The Won Poker Cup III Mystery Bounty is officially underway, offering three Day 1 flights. The first of them, Day 1A, kicked off mid-day and drew a total of 75 entries. By the end of the flight, 10 players had secured their seats for the Final Day.

Leading the pack is Khayal Abbasov, who bagged an impressive 410,000 chips, with Sean Keeton close behind at 401,000.

Eve Kang ended the day on a high note, eliminating Yi Zou during the bubble to boost her stack to 208,000, securing her spot in the money and building momentum going into the Final Day.

Last year’s Single Day High Roller champion, Yunsheng Sun, also advanced with a healthy stack of 203,000.

All ten Day 1A survivors are already in the money, but with two more flights still to come, the field is expected to grow, the prize pool to expand, and the competition to intensify.

Day 1B kicks off tomorrow at 12:00 PM, followed by Day 1C at 4:30 PM local time. With more players looking to book their spot in the money and chase mystery bounties, tomorrow promises to be a thrilling day of poker.

With only 8,000 chips remaining after the hand with Mr. Lion, Dave Erquiaga moved all-in from middle position. Sean Keeton made the call, putting Erquiaga at risk once again.

Dave Erquiaga: Q♦ T♣

Sean Keeton: A♠ J♥

The board ran out 7♣ 6♠ 3♥ 4♣ K♠. Neither player connected, but Keeton’s ace-high held strong, enough to scoop the pot and bring Erquiaga’s tournament to an end.

Dave Erquiaga opened to 10,000 from early position and faced an all-in response from Sean Keeton to his left for 103,000. Chee Hoony, on the button, also shoved all-in for 52,500. Erquiaga, who covered both players, called, setting up a three-way all-in showdown.

Chee Hoony: Pocket Kings

Sean Keeton: T♣ T♥

Dave Erquiaga: A♥ Q♥

Hoony was optimistic when the cards hit the table, but the flop — J♠ T♠ 4♠ — gave Keeton a set. The 9♦ on the turn gave Erquiaga a gutshot straight draw, but the river A♠ sealed Keeton’s victory, eliminating Hoony and taking a large portion of Erquiaga’s chips.
