A runner-up finish can haunt a player for years, but Spain’s Daniel Vicente turned that frustration into gold by winning his first World Series of Poker bracelet in the $1,000 Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha event on GGPoker, according to PokerNews. Vicente had previously finished second in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed Championship at the 2025 WSOP in Las Vegas, making the victory a measure of redemption. His combined total — $45,130 in bounties alongside $54,311 in prize money — came to $99,441, with his account listed under the Dominican Republic in the GGPoker lobby.
PokerNews reported that the event drew 771 entrants and generated a $732,450 prize pool, with the field whittled down to 12 survivors on Day 1. That opening session produced its own headline moment when a $91,000 mystery bounty was credited to Daniel Daw’s GGPoker account. Per Beatdagame, Day 2 sent Simon Mattsson, Diego Zeiter, Lex Veldhuis, and Dimitrios Michailidis out of the tournament, while China’s Alex Zev, who started the day as chip leader, eventually placed eighth to fall one spot shy of the official final table.
The final table itself unfolded across six eliminations before Vicente reached heads-up play. Eduardo “Scanner-” Bernal departed in seventh for $10,651, followed by Matheus Grazziotin in sixth at $29,681, “Mger_Aleksani” of Armenia in fifth for $31,638, “MACHINAA” of Taiwan in fourth at $22,862, and “BBHDAMT7angels” of Cyprus in third for $32,868. Vicente then defeated Renan Bruschi in the heads-up match to claim the bracelet, according to PokerNews.
Alongside the bracelet, Vicente earned a $30,000 Super Pass for the 2026 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event, per PokerNews. PokerNews also noted that another bracelet was scheduled to be awarded on August 22 in the #5: $100 Flip & Go NLH event.
