Spain's Rafael Navas helped himself to a career-best live poker tournament score plus his first World Series of Poker Circuit rung after he came out on top in the £560 buy-in Mystery Millions event at the 2023 WSOP Super Circuit London festival.
Navas only began his live poker career in 2022 but has already racked up more than $300,000 worth of cashes, with nine of his results yielding five-figure scores. Until binking this £560 Mystery Millions tournament, Navas' largest haul weighed in at €67,637, his reward for a third-place finish in the €1,100 WPT Prime Madrid Main Event in September 2022. Navas can now brag of an £80,000 score, or £96,500 if you include the bounties he collected on his way to victory.
Dozens of players receive mystery bounty payments ranging from £500 to a cool £58,000. The aforementioned Navas clinched £16,500 worth of bounties, while fellow finalist Gary Miller pulled out £15,250.
The aptly named Duncan Riches received £25,000, while Mauro Suriano and Daniel Harwood bagged £26,000 and £26,500, respectively. Jay Villegas, who until this event had less than $4,000 in recorded live earnings, pulled out a £50,000 mystery bounty, while Hanna Mdanat Yazan Jeries hauled in a massive 58,000!
