It’s been an incredible three-year stretch for Czech poker pro Roman Hrabec on the high-stakes tournament circuit, cashing for nearly $11 million during that span. His 2024 campaign has been particularly successful, cashing for more than $6.5 million including a WSOP bracelet win and a victory in the prestigious Super High Roller Bowl Jeju event.

Hrabec’s latest triumpth was worth another seven figures, collecting $622,019 in prize money, and a massive $560,000 in additional bounties in the $40,000 buy-in Mystery Bounty seven-max event at the Triton Super High Roller Poker Series stop at Sporting Monte-Carlo.

As a result of his run, he is now 14th in the Card Player Player of the Year standings, with 5,134 points heading into the final two months of the year.

While the tournament finished Tuesday, it wasn’t until the next day that the bounties were pulled. Hrabec was skeptical about his luck, but managed to pull one of the $200,000 prizes, along with numerous other big envelopes.

“I usually run very, very poor in the mystery bounty, so I can sell some of them,” joked to reporters beforehand. “I was a little bit complaining to my girlfriend about a bad run, but that’s how it works sometimes. You complain and then you win one.”

The tournament saw a field of 155 players enter the fray, and that built the total prize pool up to $3.1 million. The top 27 players all scored a payday worth at least $31,000 (although there was a chop on the money bubble that awarded $15,500 each to Lewis Spencer and Mikita Badziakouski).

Notables that cashed on the path to the final table included Ren Lin (8th), Webster Lim (12th), Christoph Vogelsang (15th), Kiat Lee (16th), Jesse Lonis (18th), Sam Greenwood (19th), Hossein Ensan (20th), Juan Pardo (21st), Igor Yaroshevskyy (23rd), Alex Foxen (24th), and Seth Davies (25th).

When the final table began Hrabec was third in chips, while Samuel Mullur wielded a big chip lead that slowed action as players looked to ladder up. Punnat Punsri eventually kicked off the eliminations with his exit in seventh place, and Artur Martirosian followed him to the rail in sixth place.

Although Martirosian had to settle for the $159,000 payout, he was fortunate enough to pull $480,000 in bounties. The Russian now has over $20 million in career live earnings.

Mullur scored another elimination by disposing of Ossi Ketola in fifth place, and then Hrabec got in on the action by busting Luc Greenwood in fourth place. Luc did join his brother Sam as the only two siblings to cash in the event as a consolation prize.

Hrabec was firmly in control at that point with the chip lead, and tightened that grip by taking out Morten Klein in third place. Hrabec and Mullur then decided on a chop before the start of the final match with the trophy and only $35,000 left up top to play for.

On the final hand, Mullur got all in holding 74 with the flop reading 1098, and Hrabec had him covered with 109 in the hole for two pair. None of Mullur’s draws came to fruition, and the Austrian was eliminated in second place for a payday worth $463,000 along with $520,000 in bounties.

Mullur now has $4 million in career earnings, $2.7 million of which came in the 2023 WSOP Paradise when he took down the $25,000 high roller for his first gold bracelet.
