Imagine finishing 12th in a high-stakes poker tournament yet being that event's biggest winner. That is precisely what happened to Lithuanian superstar Matas Cimbolas in the $40,000 No-Limit Hold'em Mystery Bounty event, part of the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju festival.

Cimbolas crashed out of the tournament in 12th place. He got the last of his chips in with pocket kings, which were ahead of Rokas Asipauskas' queen-jack and the ace-queen of Mikita Badziakouski. However, an ace on the flop ultimately resulted in Asipausskas and Cimbolas busting in a double elimination.

Lady Luck wasn't on Cimbolas' side during the latter stages of the tournament, but she more than made up for it when it was time to reveal the mystery bounty payments. Having watched Matthias Eibinger pull 10.5 bounties worth a combined $750,000 and several other bounty hunters receive ample sums, Cimbolas asked his wife, Greta, to open the six mystery bounty envelopes he'd collected.

The first envelope contained $40,000 as did the second of the six bounties pulled. This is where things got interesting. Cimbolas' wife said she was going to dig deeper into the pile of envelopes, which she did. After some rummaging around, she opened the third bounty. The sum was printed on gold card, meaning it was worth at least $100,000. As it happens, this payout was one weighing in at $200,000, taking Cimbolas' haul to $280,000.

Hitting the Jackpot With a One-in-Seven Shot

Bounty Four was also gold. Host Ali Nejad informed the stream's viewers that there was a one-in-seven chance that this bounty could be the jackpot bounty of half a million dollars. A few moments later, Cimbolas hit his 14.28% chance, less than kings beating aces, and banked a cool $500,000!

"We'll go shopping," joked Cimbolas when Nejad said his wife had done great.

"I don't know if Lamborghini does a stroller, but my guess is to add to cart," quipped Nejad, referencing the couple's becoming parents 14 months ago.

Greta delved into the mystery bounty envelope box again and retrieved another gold payout: $200,000. The final envelope the Cimbolas pulled was worth $100,000, taking the total bounty haul to an incredible $1.08 million! Added to his tournament cash, Cimbolas took home $1,151,000, more than the $1,075,000 Sean Winter collected, which included $140,000 in bounties, for becoming the tournament's champion.

Cimbolas and the other Triton Poker players next have a chance to win some bounty prizes on March 6 when the $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em Bounty Quattro shuffles up and deals at 4:00 p.m. local time.
