"3AHYDA" Pulls the Lucky Envelope, Then Takes Final Table Chip Lead in the 888poker XL Autumn Series $162 Mystery Bounty
Even if ��3AHYDA�� didn��t cash in the $162 888Poker XL Autumn series Mystery Bounty, the Mexican player was still walking away with the biggest score of their career.
��3AHYDA�� was the lucky player who pulled the top $20,000 mystery bounty envelope early on Day 2, ensuring they would enjoy a payout that was more than the $15,480 first place prize for the entire tournament. But they weren��t done there, as ��3AHYDA�� finished the day as the chip leader heading to tomorrow��s final table.
��3AHYDA�� busted Twitch streamer Lukas ��RobinPoker.�� Robinson with sevens over sixes, then took the chip lead with a massive flop shove against ��Svarozhits�� to finish with 3,172,818. Their biggest recorded cash on 888poker was $10,000, and they��ve already surpassed that with the opening of one virtual envelope. They lead the remaining eight players who return for the final table tomorrow at 7 p.m. GMT to play down to a champion.

��SuiC1deKin9�� is in second place with 2,877,266, helped along by flopping quad tens to bust ��for5months�� right before the final table. Former leader ��Svarozhits�� ended up in third place with 2,538,881. ��Svarozhits�� looked like they were running away from the field after doubling up off start-of-day chip leader ��Tedson89,�� then eliminating ��scheeescheee�� (18th), ��Nondescript3�� (14th), and ��Japa_Bill�� (12th) in short succession. The Montenegro player finished second in the $525 Turbo event in the XL Autumn series yesterday for $7,200, their largest recorded cash, and will look to continue that momentum tomorrow at the final table.
