Alisson Piekazewicz wins $40K Triton Mystery Bounty with $1.26M haul

Alisson Piekazewicz has claimed victory in the $40K Triton Mystery Bounty tournament. His win on Day 2 earned him his first major trophy and a top prize of $709,000. The Brazilian player also secured an additional $560,000 from bounties alone. Piekazewicz dominated the final table with a series of strong hands. He picked up pocket aces early, eliminating Du Qiao, Jun Obara, and Anatoly Zlotnikov in a single hand—a rare triple knockout. His momentum continued as he built a commanding chip lead.

By the heads-up stage, he faced Seth Davies with the covering stack. A decisive hand saw Piekazewicz win cleanly, securing the title. Throughout the day, he played aggressively and avoided major setbacks, a strategy that paid off. His bounty haul was equally impressive. With 14 bounties collected—each worth at least $40,000—he added a substantial sum to his winnings. The tournament's structure rewarded his consistent performance, both in knockouts and final-table play. Now, attention turns to the upcoming bounty draws on Saturday. Piekazewicz will aim to carry this form forward into the next events.

The victory marks Piekazewicz's first major live tournament win. His total earnings from the event exceed $1.26 million, combining the first-place prize and bounty payouts. The result also strengthens his reputation in high-stakes poker circles.
