Nasab expressed his enjoyment of the tournament as a whole, including his fondness of those he was playing against, especially those on final table with him. This was evident earlier in the day when, upon his big win on just the second mystery bounty reveal of the day, he was seen purchasing drinks for those at his table. “I will always share, I am in favour of that.”

When asked if he regretted accepting an ICM chop, sacrificing a chance to have had added to his grand total of over $100,000, Nasab was humble in his response. That’s what Nasab said he thought prior to Day 2 on Thursday, and his thoughts were accurate. In short, Nasab picked up a whopping $65,325 in mystery bounties alone, from a grand total of 16 knockouts to his name. Nasab has not only won the Mystery Bounty title, but has taken out the coveted Grand Bounty for an additional $40,000, as well as an $11,000 bounty, the $8,700, $1,275, $1,050 and eleven of the $300 prizes. It’s not often that we’ve seen fortune in the favour of one person as much as we have seen today, but much in the same vein as Steven Hoek at last month’s WPT Prime Gold Coast Mystery Bounty event, Seyed Nasab has achieved what many thought was unthinkable. Congratulations Seyed Nasab ($42,285* + $65,325), Sydney Champs Mystery Bounty Champion!
