Erik Koch

Level 34 (200,000/400,000/200,000)

Erik Koch moved all in for 4,525,000 from the small blind and Uri Reichenstein called from the big.

Uri Reichenstein: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Erik Koch: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The {7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop was interesting in that it gave Koch an up-and-down straight draw and Reichenstein a flush draw. The {6-Hearts} turn completed the flush and Koch was left drawing dead headed to the {5-Diamonds} river.

Luke Blindert Eliminated in 2nd Place ($144,210)

Luke Blindert
Luke Blindert

Level 35 (250,000/500,000/250,000)

During the course of heads-up play, Uri Reichenstein was able to pull into a chip lead.

In what would be the final hand of the tournament, Reichenstein raised the button to 900,000 and Luke Blindert called.

Blindert checked the {5-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop and Reichenstein continued for 800,000. Blindert woke up with a check-raise to 2.3 million, Reichenstein called, and the {4-Spades} appeared on the turn.

Blindert moved all in for 11.3 million and Reichenstein hit the tank.

"I'm going to have to gamble with you," he said while spiking in a stack.

"You've got me," Blindert admitted.

Luke Blindert: {6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Uri Reichenstein: {q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Reichenstein had a flush draw but his queen-high was actually good. The {a-Diamonds} river was a brick and Blindert was eliminated in second place.

As such, Reichenstein collected the last four unredeemed bounties, including the remaining $5,000.

On Tuesday, the surviving 211 players from a 1,518-entry field returned for Day 2 action in the Wynn Summer Classic $1,600 Mystery Bounty Event. The tournament, which surpassed its $1.5 million guarantee by offering up a $2,201,100 prize pool, offered a unique format in which participants drew mystery envelopes with bounties ranging from $500-$100,000.

After a 16-hour day, it was Israel’s Uri Reichenstein emerging victorious to claim the title and $217,948 top prize. In addition, he collected over $30,000 in bounties.

The score marked the third-largest of Reichenstein’s career behind the $913,660 he received for finishing second to Sebastian Malec in the 2016 EPT Barcelona Main Event and $875,677 for placing runner-up in the 2019 EPT Barcelona High Roller.

There was also a $1,442,100 main prize pool up for grabs to the top 152 finishers, and among those to cash were Mike Dentale (11th - $19,399), Dan “DQ” Hendrickson (13th - $16,694), Javier Zarco (17th - $12,543), AJ Kelsall (25th - $8,366), Shannon Shorr (28th - $7,351), Shankar Pillai (38th - $6,506), Brian Hastings (43rd - $6,506), and Ben Farrell (63rd - $4,710).

Final Table Action

France’s Victor Choupeaux began the final table second in chips, but a bluff gone wrong against Reichenstein knocked him down to size. Not long after, he got his stack all in preflop with queens flipping against the ace-king of Luke Blindert. The ladies held through the flop and turn, but an ace on the river delivered a dagger through the Frenchman’s heart.

WSOP bracelet winner Bryan Piccioli was the next to fall after failing to get lucky with ace-three suited against the two black eights of Erik Koch, and then Michael Young followed him out the door losing a flip with pocket sixes to the ace-queen of Carlos Franco.

Blindert then used ace-king to eliminate David Mzareulov, who got it in with king-jack, and the coolered Austin Peck aces over kings all in preflop. That gave Blindert half the chips in play four-handed.

However, Reichenstein scored the next two eliminations to enter heads-up play at a slim chip disadvantage against Blindert. Before too long, he seized the lead before the final hand saw Blidnert go for a bluff only to get called by Reichenstein holding a queen-high flush draw. Little did he know his queen-high was actually the best hand, which held.

Mystery Bounty Winners

What began with 211 envelopes was whittled down to approximately 35 before the top bounty of $100,000 was awarded.

After being eliminated from the tournament in 55th place for $5,210, New Jersey's Jay Kavoor opted to redeem his last bounty ticket. Earlier in the day, he redeemed one and won $2,500, which wasn't a bad score. Well, he topped it significantly on the second pull to bring his total payout for the day up to $107,710!

Here’s a look at those who captured the bigger bounties that were up for grabs:
