Daniel Vicente wins his first WSOP bracelet in an online tournament

Spanish poker player Daniel Vicente claimed victory in the $1,000 Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha tournament at WSOP Online, winning his first gold bracelet.

The fourth tournament of the online World Series of Poker (WSOP) on the GGPoker platform has concluded — $1,000 Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha . The main headline was the long-awaited triumphant performance of Spaniard Daniel Vicente, who won his first-ever WSOP gold bracelet. For Vicente, this was a true redemption: last year, he came close to victory in Las Vegas but lost heads-up to Sam Soverel in the prestigious $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed Championship. Now, a year later, the Spaniard has fulfilled his dream by winning the online Pot-Limit Omaha tournament with a mystery bounty element. Tournament Format: What is Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha? The Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha tournament is a $1,000 buy-in event where part of the prize pool is distributed as random rewards (bounties) that players receive for knocking out opponents at certain stages of the tournament. The Pot-Limit Omaha format differs from the familiar No-Limit Hold'em in that players receive four hole cards, and the maximum bet is limited to the size of the pot. This format requires participants to use more thoughtful strategies and to work with a wider range of hands. This tournament attracted 771 entries, creating a prize pool of $732,450. On the very first day, the largest mystery bounties were awarded, including the top prize of $91,000, which went to Daniel Daw. The Road to the Final Table: The Battle for the Bracelet After Day 1, only 12 contenders for the title remained. On Day 2, well-known pros such as Simon Mattsson, Diego Zeiter, Lex Veldhuis, and Dimitrios Michailidis continued their fight for the bracelet, but none of them made it to the final. The chip leader at the start of Day 2 was China's Alex Zev, but his run ended in eighth place — he became the "bubble" of the final table, leaving the tournament just before the final seven. Final Table Showdown: Step by Step to Victory The final table began with seven players, each already guaranteed a solid payout. The first to bust was Eduardo "Scanner-" Bernal, who finished seventh and took home $10,651. Next to leave was Brazilian Matheus Grazziotin, finishing sixth for $29,681. Fifth place went to the Armenian player "Mger_Aleksani," who earned $31,638. In fourth place was Taiwan's "MACHINAA," who won $22,862. The player from Cyprus, "BBHDAMT7angels," rounded out the top three with $32,868. In heads-up, Daniel Vicente faced Renan Bruschi from Brazil. It's worth noting that Brazilian players had already won two of the first three WSOP Online tournaments, and many expected another victory for the country. However, Vicente managed to turn the final around and claimed his first WSOP gold bracelet. Final Table Results and Payouts 1st place: Daniel Vicente (Spain) — $99,441 + $30,000 Super Pass to the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event 2026 + WSOP gold bracelet 2nd place: Renan Bruschi (Brazil) — prize amount not specified 3rd place: "BBHDAMT7angels" (Cyprus) — $32,868 4th place: "MACHINAA" (Taiwan) — $22,862 5th place: "Mger_Aleksani" (Armenia) — $31,638 6th place: Matheus Grazziotin (Brazil) — $29,681 7th place: Eduardo "Scanner-" Bernal — $10,651 It’s also worth mentioning that the largest mystery bounty of $91,000 was won by Daniel Daw on the first day of the tournament. Looking Ahead: Flip & Go Tournament with $1,000,000 Guarantee The next major event in the WSOP online series is #5: $100 Flip & Go NLH , which will conclude on August 22. The Flip & Go format is unique in that the tournament starts with so-called Flip Stages: in this stage, all players go all-in blind, and only the winners of these "flips" advance to the next stage. After that, the traditional tournament phase (GO Stage) begins, where the battle for the bracelet continues. At the time of publication, 9,939 players had already participated in the Flip Stages, and it is expected that the $1,000,000 guarantee will be significantly surpassed by the start of the main phase. Summary and Notable Participants Other well-known players such as Lex Veldhuis, Simon Mattsson, Diego Zeiter, and Dimitrios Michailidis also took part in the tournament, but none made it to the final table. The tournament once again demonstrated the high level of competition in the WSOP online series and the variety of formats that attract both professionals and amateurs from around the world.
