What an exciting time it's been for UK player "d5t6y7", who took down this week’s $109 buy-in, $100K GTD Mystery Bounty Main Event. And, not only did they bag first place, but they also took home the top bounty of $10K!
Coincidentally, back on 17 April, “d5t6y7” finished 10th in the same event and claimed the $10K bounty as well!
It all went down in the final hand of the tournament when “d5t6y7” busted their heads-up opponent to reveal the surprising $10,000 Mystery Bounty ticket.
WATCH the final hand action below:
The event attracted 785 players who rebought 180 times. The $100,000 prize pool was split between the mystery bounty and regular prize pools, with the top 144 finishers getting a piece of the latter.
Among those to make relatively deep runs were the following players –
- “Vismo2713” (90th place for $135 + $3,241.64 in bounties)
- “Dixon6hrsSet” (76th place for $135 + $1,223.32 in bounties)
- “frostnova” (62nd place for $140 + $1,081.66 in bounties)
- “bowladay” (29th place for $200 + $1,681.66 in bounties)

When the tournament reached the final table it went on an overnight break, Uzbekistan’s “KJJIDIele” lead the pack with 3,490,257 while Romania’s “juncanaru98” wasn’t far behind with 2,977,469.
Others with seven-figure stacks were the UK’s “d5t6y7” (2,076,171), Brazil’s “p1uzera” (1,607,426), Ukraine’s “Freedan” (1,430,124), and Belarus’ “ladutska” (1,098,637).
On the other end of the spectrum, Brazil’s “SeiryokuZen” (997,852) and Montenegro’s “Adhmor8” (665,763) were on the shorter side of things. But it was Brazil’s “DiouL2” as the extreme short stack with just 131,301.
When players returned on Monday to play down to a winner, it was only fitting two of the big stacks made it to heads-up play. “KJJIDIele” ultimately fell to “d5t6y7”, who also claimed the $10,000 top mystery bounty.
All told, “d5t6y7” walked away with $18,129.96 in prize money.
Despite not winning the tournament, “KJJIDIele” did receive $5,645 as runner-up plus $5,126.64 in bounties for a total payday of $10,771.64.
