The action continues to ramp up on Day 9 of the WPT Cambodia 2026 at NagaWorld as the $3,000 Mystery Bounty High Roller reached its money bubble, while several high-speed side events crowned new champions.

Ankit Ahuja Leads After Dramatic Quads Burst Mystery Bounty Bubble

Day 1 of the $3,000 Mystery Bounty High Roller concluded after 13 hours of play, but not without a theatrical finish. The event attracted 67 entries, building a total prize pool of $178,723. This is divided into $111,723 for the regular payouts and $67,000 reserved for mystery bounties.

The bubble burst in spectacular fashion when Qi Li committed his stack with a full house, only to be eliminated by Ankit Ahuja, who revealed rivered quads. This massive pot secured a payout for the final 11 survivors and propelled Ahuja into a dominant chip lead.
