Kiat Lee added a fourth Triton title in Jeju after winning the $40,000 Mystery Bounty No-Limit Hold’em event, taking $619,000 and eight bounty envelopes worth a minimum of $40,000 each. The envelopes were worth at least another $320,000.

As reported in our earlier Jeju coverage, Triton was back at Les A Casino in South Korea for another stop this month. The Mystery Bounty drew 133 entries and built a $5.32 million prize pool, split evenly between a $2.66 million main pool and $2.66 million in mystery bounty prizes. Thirty-three players made Day 2 and became eligible for bounty pulls, and 23 players reached the money from the primary pool.

Around 2 p.m. on Sept. 10, Triton Poker Series said Lee was staring at elimination on the bubble and needed a double to stay alive. About nine hours later, he had finished the job against Jamil Wakil, in what the series called a move from “the brink of the bubble to the champion.”

The key swings came in a string of knockouts. Lee won a four-way all-in that sent Phil Ivey, Sam Mullur and Seth Davies out, and later eliminated David Coleman, Joe Hindry and Sirzat Hissou. He set up the official final table with more than three times as many chips as any other player left, but Alex Anton later ran up the lead before Wakil took command and carried an 89-big-blind stack into heads-up play against Lee’s 18.

Lee still found the comeback. His J♣10♣ paired the ten on the flop to beat Wakil’s A♥6♠, ending the match and leaving Wakil second for $419,000. Lee said the win felt “overwhelming” and added that he had been “pretty lucky most of the time.” They also went into heads-up with six mystery bounties apiece.

According to Card Player, the victory was worth 924 POY points, lifting Lee to 4,157 for the year and 26th in the 2026 standings. The result was Lee’s second Triton win of 2026 and his fourth Triton title overall. It was also his 18th career final table on the high-stakes tour.

Hugo Ouazana and Philippe Souki both finished above the one-million-chip mark on Day 1b of the €1,500 WSOP Circuit Paris Main Event at Partouche Pasino Club. Ouazana bagged 1,121,000 chips and Souki ended on 1,029,000, after a flight that drew 197 entries and lifted the total field to 369 so far.

As reported in August, the WSOP Circuit returned to Paris this month for a two-week stop at Partouche Pasino Club, with the €1,500 Main Event sitting inside a 13-ring festival, according to PokerNews. The latest flight was a little bigger than Day 1a, which drew 172 entries, and the prize pool was said to be close to the half-million mark, with early Day 1c entries expected to push it over that line.

Souki was out front at the last break, but Ouazana took the lead during the final level and held on to finish top of the counts. Sam Sztarkman followed with 925,000, while Leiqi Chen bagged 597,000. The top ten also included Ankit Ahuja with 497,000, Stephane Gabarre with 481,000, and Antony Saadoun with 465,000 after a big double-up with kings through Ahuja once late registration had closed.

The deeper chip counts also showed how volatile the day was. David Foucault got off to a strong start and climbed to the top of the standings before fading back to 71,000, just above the starting stack. Gabriel Nahum also had a rough run at the bubble, where he was down to five big blinds but still managed to burst it.

Ouazana described the key stretch in simple terms, saying he gave one opponent a “proper hard time” and took almost all of a 500,000-chip stack with a flopped set. He also said he three-bet a lot and kept the pressure on as the bubble approached.

Among the other notables in the bag were Hervé Gouzil with 248,000, Smain Mamouni with 243,000, Luca Bernardi with 236,000, and François Scapula with 202,000. Sandro Carucci, who won the WSOP Circuit Marrakech Main Event earlier this year, will take 155,000 into Day 2 as he tries to add another ring this week.

The 30 players who survived Day 1b get Friday off, and the rest of the field can still join Day 1c, which starts at 1 p.m. local time with 50,000 starting stacks, 40-minute levels, late registration open through the first 12 levels until 11 p.m., and play ending once 15% of the field remains.

CoinPoker’s first September CoinMillion drew 4,986 entries and set a new platform record for the flagship event. The $1 million-guaranteed tournament paid 772 places, and screen name 'fish2025’ won $119,500 after entering once and never rebuying or re-entering.

PokerStrategy reported that the September 6 event was the first CoinMillion held as part of the Global Online Poker Championship. As covered in August, CoinPoker had lined up four Sunday CoinMillions for September inside the same series.

The field included 3,628 unique players and 1,358 re-entries or rebuys. Seats came from 3,495 direct cash buy-ins, 1,015 promotional tickets and 476 satellite qualifiers. Across the field, 133 players who used free tickets cashed for a combined $125,800, while 74 satellite qualifiers collected $53,600.

fish2025 registered 63 minutes into Day 1, finished that session seventh in chips and went on to the final table on Day 2. By the time heads-up play began, the eventual winner held more than two-thirds of the chips in play and beat IWtPlayaGame, who earned $76,300 for second place.

The rest of the final table also paid well. hross took third for $55,000, jenesaisquoi was fourth for $40,200, VVsMolly finished fifth for $29,400 and GrosTony was sixth for $21,800. r8gogo turned a free promotional ticket into $16,500 for seventh, Fab1o converted a $25 satellite into $4,900 for 14th, and ThunderBeing finished ninth for $12,600.

The win was also a huge leap from fish2025’s prior best CoinPoker tournament cash of $2,491, 48 times smaller than this score. CoinPoker’s schedule still has three more $1 million CoinMillion GOPC editions in September, and the next one is set for Sept. 13.

The WSOP Circuit returned to Texas Card House in Austin on Sept. 10, opening a run that continues through Sept. 21 and features 18 official ring events with nearly $4 million in guaranteed prize pools. The centerpiece is a $1,700 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event with a $2 million guarantee, and every ring winner will also receive a $5,000 WSOP Paradise package.

As reported in July, the Austin stop follows the spring debut that gave Texas a new poker benchmark. The series at Texas Card House earlier this year produced the largest poker tournament prize pool in Texas state history, which is the backdrop for this second Circuit visit.

The Main Event begins Sept. 17 and uses three starting flights, all set for 11 a.m. on Sept. 17, Sept. 18 and Sept. 19. The event is the flagship of the stop, and it is one of the marquee tournaments that will use action clocks.

The action clock rules posted on WSOP.com lay out how the clocks work. Once the clock is in use, players get 15 seconds for their first preflop decision and 30 seconds for each later decision. Each player starts with five time extensions, gets five more later, and any unused extensions carry over rather than resetting.

The rules also spell out some of the edge cases. Only a floor supervisor can pause or suspend the clock, asking a question does not automatically stop it, and dealers will count down the final five seconds aloud. Event #7, the Big Tex High Roller, starts on the action clock at the beginning of Day 1, while Event #13, the WSOPC Texas Main Event, goes on the clock at the end of level 15.

888poker has opened the curtain on its XL Autumn Series, a nine-day online festival running from Sept. 20 through Sept. 29 with 41 numbered events and nearly $900,000 in guarantees, according to PokerNews. The schedule leans hard into mystery bounties, with 26 of the 41 events using that format.

The headline package includes a pair of mystery bounty Main Events that account for $350,000 in guarantees. The $109 Mystery Opening Event carries a $100,000 guarantee and starts at 6:00 p.m. BST on Sept. 20. The same report noted that the tournament used to be 888poker’s weekly flagship event, before its guarantee was cut to $80,000 and later pushed back up for this series.

The two main championship events are split between a $250 Mystery Main Event with a $300,000 guarantee and a $25 Mystery Mini Main with a $50,000 guarantee. The larger event would need almost 1,300 entries to avoid overlay, while the smaller one would need just over 2,220 players to get there.

Both marquee events have dozens of Day 1 flights starting from Sept. 13. Last year’s results offer a size check on the format, with Romania’s amormori winning the $250 Mystery Main after 2,319 entries and brocanuts taking the $25 Mystery Mini Main after a field of 4,413 players.

888poker’s own promotions page frames the same series around the Mystery Bounty $300,000 XL Autumn Main Event and says the site will run a daily no-ticket freeroll that awards seats into the Main Event satellite. That page says satellites start from 1 cent, the freeroll is capped at 18,000 players, and the promotion remains valid through Sept. 29. It also says Day 1s run until Sept. 28.
