Spain’s Daniel Vicente has secured his first World Series of Poker bracelet, winning the $1,000 Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha event on GGPoker. The victory comes a year after he fell just short in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed Championship, where he lost heads-up to Sam Soverel in 2025.
The tournament attracted 771 entrants, building a prize pool of $732,450. The field was whittled down to just 12 players by the end of Day 1, with most of the largest mystery bounties awarded early, including a massive $91,000 hit claimed by Daniel Daw.
Day 2 saw several notable names eliminated, including Simon Mattsson, Diego Zeiter, Lex Veldhuis, and Dimitrios Michailidis. China’s Alex Zev, who entered the day as chip leader, went out in eighth place, bursting the final table bubble.
At the final table, Eduardo “Scanner-” Bernal was first to depart, earning $10,651. Brazil’s Matheus Grazziotin followed in sixth for $29,681, while Armenia’s “Mger_Aleksani” took fifth for $31,638. Taiwan’s “MACHINAA” finished fourth for $22,862, and Cyprus-based “BBHDAMT7angels” was eliminated in third for $32,868.
That left Vicente heads-up against Brazil’s Renan Bruschi, who was aiming to extend his country’s strong run after Brazilian players had already won two of the tournament series’ first three events. Vicente prevailed, banking $99,441 along with a $30,000 Super Pass to the 2026 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event.
The WSOP Online series continues on August 22 with Event #5: $100 Flip & Go NLH, which has already drawn 9,939 entrants across its Flip Stages, putting it on pace to surpass its $1 million guarantee before the GO Stage even begins.
