If you laid out the most ideal outcome at the outset of the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju $40,000 mystery bounty event, it would be more or less indistinguishable from the actual performance of Alisson Piekazewicz.
The Brazilian pro thoroughly dominated from start to finish, accumulating 14 bounties, including a triple knockout, on his way to his first Triton title. Piekazewicz earned $709,000 for first place, and with a minimum of $40,000 per bounty, that sum was guaranteed to be at least $1,269,000, and likely considerably higher. Following a ceremony to reveal all of the mystery bounties the day after the final table, as per Triton tradition, Piekazewicz’ bounties were worth $1,200,000, pushing his prize for this tournament to $1,909,000.
Piekazewicz’s victory earned him 1,092 Card Player Player of the Year points. That immediately thrust Piekazewicz into the top 100 on the yearlong leaderboard presented by CoinPoker.
A total of 160 entrants put up the $40,000 buy-in, with half going to the main prize pool and half to the bounty prizes. That totaled out to $3.2 million for each pool. The 40 players who returned for day 2 of the tournament each received a mystery bounty token. Piekazewicz wasted little time getting into the mix, picking up the very first bounty when he turned Q♠4♣ into trip fours to eliminate Juan Pardo.
Piekazewicz was full steam ahead from that point on. There were still 12 more eliminations before the field breached the main prize pool’s money bubble at 27. Seth Davies, the eventual runner-up, knocked out Ren Lin and Tom Fuchs back-to-back to burst that bubble.
The Brazilian Buzzsaw
With 14 players left, a surreal, dreamlike day for Piekazewicz only got better. Du Qiao shoved with pocket tens, and Jun Obara, chasing the bounty, shoved over the top with Q♣10♣. Piekazewicz looked down at pocket aces, and understandably called. A short-stacked Anatoly Zlotnikov, who had fellow short stack Du covered, called off his chips with Q♠J♥.

After fading Obara’s flush draw and Du’s singular out, Piekazewicz earned the first triple bounty elimination in Triton history, along with all of the chips involved. He’d go on to eliminate Patrik Antonius on the very next hand, for good measure. By the time they reached the official final table of seven, Piekazewicz already had 10 bounties and more than twice as many chips as his nearest opponent.
Piekazewicz was not, however, involved in the first three eliminations at this final table. After a big river bluff failed, Sean Winter lost his last 10 big blinds when he ran A♣4♦ into Hannes Jeschka’s A♠10♠, and failed to catch up. Winter, who won this very tournament in Jeju one year ago, settled for seventh ($120,000).
Davies picked up his sixth, and ultimately final bounty, when he knocked Dominykas Mikolaitis out in sixth place ($165,000). Davies’ pocket nines held off Mikolaitis’ A♣K♥, dispatching another Triton champion from the field.
Adrian Mateos managed to ladder up a couple of rungs as a short stack, but the two-time Triton champion, five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, and EPT champion’s time ran out. He found pocket sixes and shoved, and Yahor Dambrouski looked Mateos up with A♥Q♦. Dambrouski found a queen on the flop to send Mateos out in fifth ($214,000).
Picking Up Where He Left Off
After taking a brief hiatus from wiping out the field, Piekazewicz locked back in and brought the tournament to a swift end. Dambrouski got all in with two black nines, and Piekazewicz called with K♦J♦. Piekazewicz connected with the A♠A♥K♥ flop, and neither the 10♣ turn nor the 8♦ river could save Dambrouski, who was ousted in fourth place ($269,000) in his first-ever Triton Super High Roller Series cash.
Piekazewicz started exerting tremendous pressure with his massive chip lead. He jammed his small blind with 8♠7♠ and Jeschka called off his short stack with Q♣8♦. Jeschka was surprisingly ahead for his last nine big blinds, but the 7♦5♥3♦ flipped the script. Jeschka picked up a diamond draw on the 5♦ turn, but the river bricked out, eliminating the German player in third place ($329,000).

Piekazewicz’s chip lead was nearly 5:1 when heads-up play began, leaving Davies a tall mountain to climb to try to come back. Piekazewicz looked down at pocket deuces and shoved the button, and Davies was all too happy to oblige with A♦K♥. The Q♥9♠6♠ flop was clean for Piekazewicz, but Davies picked up four additional outs on the J♣ turn.
The board paired with the 9♣ on the river, and with his 13th elimination of the session, Piekazewicz completed a day for the record books. He also secured his own bounty as the champion, bringing his total to 14.
