Ebony Kenney has taken down the $500 Mystery Bounty event at the Orleans Poker Room in Las Vegas. The American collected more than $48,000 for her efforts in what was the second victory by an ACR Team Pro there in a week.


Crushing Victory

The mystery bounty format is proving to be popular. This shouldn’t be much of a surprise, though, as regular bounty events have long since changed the landscape of tournament poker in the online world.

The difference in this new format is that some mystery bounties are thrown into the mix, some of them paying out many times more than the buy-in.

  • 20,000 Chips Levels: 30 min. (Day 1)/40 min. (Day 2)
  • $500 Buy In
  • $250,000 Gtd. Prize Pool + $150,000 Gtd. Bounties
  • Day 1C- Fri. 10/15 11am
  • Day 1D- Sat. 10/16 11am
  • Day 1A- Thu. 10/14 11am
  • Day 1B- Thu. 10/14 6pm
  • Day 2 Restart - Sun. 10/17 12pm
  • Day 1 Bounties = $50
  • + Two $500 Boone’s Bounties per Starting Flight*
  • Day 2 Mystery Bounties Range from $100 to $25,000!

Moving into Day 2 after four starting flights, Kenney was in a group of only 113 players from the starting field of 1,135. The total prize pool of $476,700 comfortably cleared the $400k guarantee, and paid several players a five-figure sum, with Kenney also receiving a bottle of Boone's Bourbon to celebrate with.

This fantastic result marks Kenney’s sixth cash since the middle of September and is comfortably the biggest score in her career, taking her over the $350k line. That sounds like a great warm up for when the action really heats up next month

It’s been a great start for the ACR pros as the World Series of Poker warmed up in Las Vegas. John “BetonDrew” Gonzalez won the $400 Thundering Threes NLH event for $46,000 last week at the Orleans and was on the rail to give Kenney some support to help her over the line just as she did for him.

Check out the vid below for footage of Gonzalez’s trip to Nevada in a RV where he stops off to play at various places and meets up with Chris Moneymaker. You also get to see Kenney take him to get his nails done after he lost a prop bet.
