Norberto Korn Dominates $3K Mystery Bounty High Roller at WPT Cambodia 2026

Level 22: 25,000 / 50,000 ante: 50,000

Norberto Korn $3K Mystery Bounty High Roller Champion

Norberto Korn delivered a commanding performance to capture the $3K Mystery Bounty High Roller at WPT Cambodia 2026, outlasting a field of 67 entries after five hours of high-stakes action at NagaWorld. The $3,000 buy-in event generated a total prize pool of $178,723, with $111,723 allocated to the main prizes and $67,000 in mystery bounties, adding both pressure and excitement as players vied for knockouts and the top prize.

Day 2 began with 11 players returning for the final table, all guaranteed cash and chasing the remaining bounties and the $32,400 first-place prize. From the very start, Korn established himself as a major threat, combining precise aggression with timely all-ins to steadily accumulate chips and put pressure on his opponents.

The action was electric from the start of the final table. Early eliminations set the tone as players faltered under Korn’s relentless attacks. Ankit Ahuja, who began the day as a chip leader, was sent to the rail in 9th place after Korn rivered a set to crack Ahuja’s top pair, marking one of Korn’s early bounties. Shortly after, Xiaosheng Zheng used the chaos to rack up multiple bounties, including the tournament’s top $20,000 bounty, but eventually fell in 4th place, leaving Korn in command.

Xiaosheng Zheng Draws Biggest $20K Bounty - 4th Place

The mid-stages of the final table were punctuated by high-stakes flips and dramatic all-ins. Yunsheng Sun, holding a significant stack, ran into Korn’s flush draw and was eliminated in 3rd place when the turn and river completed Korn’s suit. This pivotal hand left Korn with an overwhelming lead as heads-up play approached.

Heads-up play pitted Korn against Mike Takayama, who mounted a brief comeback despite starting with a much shorter stack. Korn’s dominance was evident as Takayama blindly shoved his remaining 200,000 preflop, only to run into Korn’s premium J♠ J♥ . The board ran 8♣ 8♦ 7♣ Q♦ T♣ , and Korn’s jacks held, securing the championship in one decisive hand.

Heads Up

Korn’s performance was as much about bounty hunting as chip accumulation. Over the course of the final table, he collected six bounties, totaling $30,500, and added the $32,400 first-place prize for total winnings of $62,900. His victory was the result of fearless aggression, perfectly timed plays, and the ability to capitalize on critical moments, etching his name into WPT Cambodia history.

Ankit Ahuja: K♦ Q♦

The K♠ 5♣ 3♦ flop left Pan trailing with only three outs, but the 2♠ on the turn gave him additional outs with a gutshot. The miracle 4♥ river completed the straight, allowing Pan to double up.

With the turnaround, Pan survived, and Ahuja was once again denied a mystery bounty.

All-In On First Hand

Level 17: 8,000 / 16,000 ante: 16,000

Norberto Korn

On the very first hand of the day, an all-in confrontation unfolded immediately.

Norberto Korn was at risk for 506,000 against Ankit Ahuja, who covered him. Korn held A♥ K♣ , dominating Ahuja’s K♦ J♦ . The board ran out Q♥ 6♥ 3♦ 2♠ K♠ , pairing both players’ kings, but Korn’s ace kicker played to secure the double-up.

With the massive pot, Korn wasted no time jumping into the chip lead after just one hand of play.

High Roller Set For Day 2 As Bounties Begin

Level 17: 8,000 / 16,000 ante: 16,000

$3K Mystery Bounty Trophy

The stage is set for a thrilling finish in the $3K Mystery Bounty High Roller at WPT Cambodia 2026, as the tournament heads into Day 2 with just 11 players still in contention. After a grueling 13-hour opening day, the remaining field has locked up a payout and now turns its focus toward the biggest prizes still on the table, including a $32,400 first-place prize and a lucrative slate of mystery bounties yet to be revealed.

The event attracted 67 entries, building a total prize pool of $178,723, with $111,723 allocated to the regular payouts and an additional $67,000 set aside for mystery bounties. While only one player fell on the bubble, that moment proved decisive, reshaping the leaderboard and setting a dramatic tone for the remainder of the tournament.

That pivotal hand came late on Day 1, when Ankit Ahuja eliminated Qi Li in brutal fashion, cracking Li’s full house with rivered quads to burst the bubble. The massive pot not only secured payouts for the rest of the field but also propelled Ahuja into a commanding chip lead heading into mystery bounty play.

Play resumes today at 12:00 PM and will continue until a champion is crowned, with every knockout now carrying immediate financial reward and the pressure only intensifying as the hunt for bounties and the title begins.
