Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n The 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) live festival<\/a> has created another millionaire, but this time around, the winner relied on pure luck to take home the highly-coveted seven-figure sum. The lucky player we\u2019re talking about is Pennsylvania<\/a> local Matthew Glantz<\/strong>. <\/p>\n Glanz was among the 14,112 participants in the ongoing $1,000 buy-in WSOP Bounty<\/em> which kicked off over the weekend. On Tuesday, July 5, he won the largest mystery cash prize on offer at the event after digging through a chest filled with envelopes. <\/p>\n Glanz drew the only envelope containing the jackpot prize of $1 million and he considers Shaun Deeb<\/strong> and Paul Volpe<\/strong> as his lucky charms. The players each had a 10% staking deal with Glanz, which meant that the Pennsylvania player will only be taking home $800K from the $1 million jackpot (Deeb and Volpe get $100K each). <\/p>\n The Lafayette Hill resident was initially critical of the hype surrounding the tournament, describing it as a \u201cnonsense circus<\/em>\u201d event. He had a quick change of heart after hitting the jackpot as indicated in his tweet on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n This is the first time that a mystery bounty event has been included in the WSOP schedule and the move was understandable given the increasing popularity of the format, mainly thanks to Wynn Las Vegas where the mystery bounty craze began.<\/p>\n The huge field created a total prize pool of $8,326,080 awarded to the top 2,003 players. Among popular pros who cashed in the event were Kyle Montgomery<\/strong> (71st), Rainer Kempe<\/strong> (79th), David \u201cODB<\/em>\u201d Baker<\/strong> (106th), Padraig O\u2019Neill<\/strong> (177th), Christoph Vogelsang<\/strong> (227th), Barry Greenstein<\/strong> (338th) and Sergi Reixach<\/strong> (352nd).<\/p>\n\n
