A $250 buy-in, 47,798 entries and an $10,993,540 prize pool — and at the end of it, one player knocked out eight of the nine finalists. Russia’s Aleksandr Kropotov ran through the GGPoker Mystery Millions final table for a WSOP bracelet and $631,459.

The Short Version
  • Aleksandr Kropotov (“sasha1317!”) won the $250 Mystery Millions for $631,459 total, including $24,530 in mystery bounties.
  • 47,798 entries across the Day 1 flights built a $10,993,540 prize pool.
  • Kropotov eliminated every player at the final table but one, finishing the job heads-up against Canada’s Jessica Moors ($480,160).
  • The $1 million jackpot bounty was already gone — “DrAvacado” pulled it on Day 2.
  • The champion also collected a $30,000 Super Pass to the 2026 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event.

A Field the Size of a City

The Mystery Millions is built to be enormous, and this edition delivered: 47,798 entries at $250 a shot, spread over multiple Day 1 flights, pushing the prize pool to $10,993,540.

On top of the regular payouts sat the mystery bounty layer, headlined by a $1 million jackpot. That one did not survive to the final day — a player under the alias “DrAvacado” found it during Day 2 action, turning a $250 investment into the single biggest hit of the tournament.

Kropotov’s One-Man Final Table

Nine players came back for the final table. Kropotov, playing as “sasha1317!”, sent eight of them home.

That is not a figure of speech: he took every elimination except one on his way to the bracelet, collecting mystery bounty envelopes as he went and finishing with $24,530 from that pool alone. The last player standing in his path was Canadian Jessica Moors, who took second for $480,160 — and Kropotov beat her heads-up to complete the sweep.

$250 in, $631,459 out, a WSOP bracelet and a $30,000 Super Pass to the 2026 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event on top.

The Bounty Twist: Sixth Place Out-Earned Fourth

Because the mystery bounties are paid on top of the standard prize ladder, the final table money did not run in a straight line. Mexico’s Eric Bonin busted in sixth for a $164,913 placement prize — but his bounty haul was a staggering $142,050, pushing his total to $306,963.

That total beat both fourth-placed Mikhail Suy ($283,313) and fifth-placed Norman Schreck ($220,753), and left Bonin just $56,085 short of third-placed Oliver Bosch of Austria. Two spots earlier at the table, and the envelopes still paid better.

Next Stop: Paradise

Beyond the bracelet and the cash, Kropotov walked away with a $30,000 Super Pass to the 2026 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event — part of a series carrying $50 million in guarantees. Not a bad return on a $250 buy-in.
