Cooler Flop Sets Up Incredible 17-Bounty Haul at Triton Final Table
Summary
Jun Obara made history at the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series in Jeju, becoming the tour’s first-ever Japanese champion by winning the $40,000 Mystery Bounty. Obara bagged an astonishing 17 mystery bounties during the event, earning $699,000 in prize money plus envelopes totalling approximately $1,040,000.
A defining moment came when Obara’s 10♥9♥ snapped all-in against Ren “Tony” Lin’s A♠K♦. The dealer produced a brutal 6♠8♠7♣ flop, giving Obara the nut straight and leaving Lin crippled; an A♥ on the turn sealed the hand. Obara collected the 305,000 pot and continued his march to victory.
Bounty action continues at Landing Casino with the $50,000 Triton Bounty Quattro, while the star-studded $150k NLH 8-Handed event — featuring names like Jason Koon and Alex Foxen — runs with $4,107,000 for first place.
