Isn’t it a good feeling to win a bounty? Of course it is. It was a bounty season at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) 2022. Yes, it was the first time when the $1,000 buy-in Million Dollar Bounty tournament was hosted at the WSOP. And guess what? Players whose stars were perfectly aligned won impressive sums in bounty money. You must have surely heard of Matt Glantz. Yeah! He won the biggest bounty worth a whopping $1 Million. Awesome right?
There’s another jubilant winner in the house. Jose Annaloro won the $50,000 bounty and his joy knows no bounds. This Venezuelan finished in the 15th spot for $38,650 in Event #68: $1,000 Million Dollar Bounty. The tournament was eventually nailed by Quincy Borland for a top prize of $750,120.
Coming back to Annaloro, this player steadily opened the bounty envelope and the moment he realized it was a $50,000 bounty, his hands were up in the air with utter shock and cheerfulness (the French call it joie de vivre)!

Talking about Event #68: $1,000 Million Dollar Bounty, Kevin Hong was the runner-up for $463,610. But the event grabbed a lot of attention, not so much for the winner and how it was the first time when a $1 Million Million Dollar Bounty tournament was hosted. It was all about players pulling out bounty envelopes from the chest.

All this after Glantz called the Bounty tournament a “nonsense circus bounty event.” Arieh made sure he reminded the “most hated guy in poker” of his Twitter post.
