Phil Ivey Fetched the $40,000 Top Bounty in the Mystery Bounty
During the break of the $50,000 NLH 8-Handed tournament, the envelope-opening ceremony took place for the $40,000 NLH Mystery Bounty event, which finished yesterday with a win for Kiat Lee.
Phil Ivey, who is playing the final table of the $50K event, didn't show up to pull his bounties. He was replaced by a woman from Triton Series management named Sunny. And on her very first try she pulled the $400,000 jackpot! Ivey's second envelope contained the minimum payout of $40,000. In the tournament itself, the legendary player took $62,000 for ninth place.
The biggest haul went to Kiat Lee. From eight envelopes, the Malaysian player pulled $700,000, doubling his tournament winnings of $619,000.
There was also a golden envelope with $0 in the draw, which granted the right to open one more envelope. And it went to the authoritative and respected Frenchman Jean-Noël Tourel, who ended up receiving $140,000.
