Day 1 Wraps: Quan Qiu Leads Final Flight as Mystery Bounty Surpasses Last Year’s Numbers

Level 15: 3,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Quan Qiu

Day 1 of the Won Poker Cup III Mystery Bounty has officially concluded, with Quan Qiu topping the final Day 1C flight. Out of 70 entries, Qiu bagged an impressive 762,000 chips, leading the nine survivors who advanced from this flight.

With Day 1C in the books, the event has now drawn a total of 264 entries, officially surpassing the turnout from last year’s Won Poker Cup II Mystery Bounty.

Day 1C came to a dramatic end as Richard Marquez, a prominent figure in the Asian poker scene, was eliminated as the bubble boy — narrowly missing out on a Day 2 berth.

Across all flights, 34 players have secured their spots for the Final Day. Neng Zhao leads the overall chip count with a towering 1,019,000, followed closely by Quan Qiu. Each finalist is now guaranteed a minimum cash payout of $800, but all eyes are set on reaching the final table, capturing the trophy, and claiming the top prize of $20,301.

The Mystery Bounty element adds an extra layer of excitement, with the top three bounties set at $5,000, $7,000, and a massive $10,000.

The stage is set for a thrilling finale at the Won Majestic Hotel & Casino in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. None of the remaining players will leave empty-handed — but only one will emerge victorious.

Stay tuned as we bring you wall-to-wall coverage of the finale of this high-stakes, adrenaline-charged event.

Cowboys Gun Down Marquez on the Bubble

Level 15: 3,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Richard Marquez

Action was picked up during bubble time with two players all-in — Richard Marquez under the gun and at risk against Hwang Hei Choong.

Richard Marquez: A♥ K♣

Hwang Hei Choong: K♦ K♥

Marquez was hoping for a double-up with his Big Slick, unaware he was charging straight into a pair of cowboys ready to end his tournament life.

The duel ended as expected, with the board running out 4♣ 8♠ 2♠ J♣ 9♣ — no help for Marquez, who fell just short of the money as the unfortunate bubble boy.

Lee Dodges Bubble with Timely Full House

Level 15: 3,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Suya Lee: K♣ J♠

Quan Qiu: A♦ 7♦

What Should Have Been: Kumar Crushed by River Suckout

Level 15: 3,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Vineet Kumar shoved all-in after Suya Lee opened for 40,000 from the hijack. Lee called, putting his own tournament life on the line.

Vineet Kumar: J♠ J♥

Suya Lee: 8♥ 8♦

Kumar’s jacks were clearly ahead, and they stayed that way through the flop and turn — Q♦ 5♠ 6♣ 5♣ — until the brutal 8♠ landed on the river.

Aghast, Kumar watched as the pot — and what should have been, could have been his hand — slid over to Lee.

Qiu Coolers Li with Full House Over Top Two

Level 15: 3,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Shankui Li opened to 12,000 and picked up two callers — Elvijs Kuceruks on the button and Quan Qiu in the big blind.

With position ceded, Li led out for 16,000 on the flop of K♥ J♣ T♥, and both opponents called.

He kept up the aggression on the 2♠ turn, firing again and getting called by both players once more.

Going full throttle on the T♦ river, Li shoved all-in. Kuceruks finally got out of the way, but Qiu snap-called, putting Li at risk.

Li turned over K♦ J♠ for top two pair, but was crushed when Qiu revealed T♣ 2♦ — a full house, tens full of twos — sending Li to the rail.

Won Poker Cup III Mystery Bounty: Day 1 Continues with Two More Flights Today

The Won Poker Cup III Mystery Bounty, featuring an $80,000 guaranteed prize pool, kicked off yesterday with 75 entries. By the end of Day 1A, 10 players advanced to the Final Day, led by Khayal Abbasov, who bagged an impressive 410,000 chips.

Today, the action heats up with both Day 1B and Day 1C scheduled to complete the opening flights.

Day 1B begins at 12:00 PM, and

Day 1C kicks off at 4:30 PM.

Late registration will remain open until the start of Level 11—5:45 PM for Day 1B and 9:25 PM for Day 1C—giving players multiple opportunities to secure a seat on the Final Day.

Each player starts with 30,000 chips, playing through 30-minute levels in Day 1B and 25-minute levels in Day 1C, until only 12.5% of the field remains.

With unlimited re-entries available for all Day 1s, expect many players who busted yesterday to jump back into the action. More participants arrive at Won Majestic Hotel, Sihanoukville, the field is expected to grow, the prize pool to swell, and the competition to get even fiercer.
