The first-of-its-kind IPC Megastacks Mystery Bounty made a single-day run on May 22. The ₹15K buy-in event registered 105 entries and PokerGuru Ambassador Vivek Singh (cover image) came out on top to collect his career-second live title and a ₹3.14 Lakhs payday (bounties extra)!

The 2018 DPT Deep Dive champion, Singh, held onto his start-of-final table chip lead until the end. Though his official payout states he took away ₹3.14 Lakhs, his final paycheque was much higher with the multiple bounties he procured.
