Golden Nugget Grand Poker Series Mystery Bounty Draws 2,356 Entries!

The Golden Nugget Grand Poker Series kicked off on May 30 and continues through July 3, featuring 89 events with over $3 million in guaranteed prize money.

The upcoming highly anticipated PokerNews Cup featuring a $1,000,000 guarantee and an exciting mystery bounty format will run June 29 – July 3, and there will be a $200 buy-in mega satellite opportunity featuring 10 guaranteed seats on June 28.

The Bar Poker Open was recently at the Downtown Las Vegas venue and Edward Holt defeated a field of 1,053 entrants to win the 2023 BPO Vegas World Championship. There was also a $1,000 buy-in BPO Pro-Am event, and Konstantinos Tsikopoulos was victorious in that one against a 199-entrant field which included familiar faces such as Jamie Kerstetter, Ryan Depaulo, Garry Gates, and Veronica Brill just to name a few.

Here’s a look at some other notable recent winners of the Grand Poker Series.

Event #41: $300 NLH Mystery Bounty $250K GTD featured nine starting flights and attracted a total of 2,356 entrants to generate a prize pool of $339,340.

In the end, it was England’s Kyle Jeffrey taking home the first-place prize of $55,485 after he defeated Neel Mazumdar in heads-up play. This was Jeffrey’s second-biggest live tournament cash according to Hendon Mob, with his best score of £200,000 having come last year in another large field event with 10,584 entrants.
