Some people really do have all the luck — and the rest of the field in Event #86: $1,000 Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2025 World Series of Poker might be thinking just that after Vincent Moscati pulled both of the $100,000 jackpot mystery bounty prizes.

His mother, sister, and friends were all on the rail to celebrate as Moscati cracked open the second six-figure chest on the big screen, completing one of the most incredible back-to-back bounty sweats of the summer.

With $201,500 now locked up in bounty prizes, Moscati has already secured more than the third-place payout of $164,090, and if he finds one of the remaining $25,000 chests, he’ll surpass second place as well.

Moscati Bags Two Bounties in One Hand

Moscati banked his first six-figure payout just after 3 p.m. local time on Thursday, pulling the first of two $100,000 hauls. Then at around 8 p.m., he struck gold once again, securing the final $100K bounty still in play.

For that second jackpot, Moscati collected two bounty tokens after eliminating WSOP bracelet winners Shawn Buchanan and Ryan Hoenig. PokerNews' Roxanne Johnson was on the scene and reported the hand which earned Moscati his second top bounty prize.

Moscati limped from early position, Buchanan raised to pot for 270,000, leaving just 100,000 behind from the cutoff. Rod Fani called from the small blind, and Ryan Hoenig moved all in for his last 200,000 from the big blind. When it came back around to Moscati, he bet pot again for 1,350,000, and Fani folded.

Ryan Hoenig: 10♦9♣9♦7♦
Shawn Buchanan: Q♦Q♠8♥7♠
Vincent Moscati: A♣K♠Q♣K♦

The board came 6♠5♣A♠J♣10♣, and Moscati scooped the pot with a flush, earning two knockouts and with them, a $100,000 prize and a $500 bounty.

Bounties Surpass Moscati's Biggest Cash

Before entering the PLO Mystery Bounty event, Moscati had amassed $2.5 million in live tournament earnings, with a top cash of $157,929, according to The Hendon Mob. He surpassed that figure in bounty prizes alone while the tournament still had more than ten tables remaining.

Moscati, who owns ten WSOP Circuit rings and has a runner-up finish in a WSOP bracelet event, remains in contention for the $329,890 first-place prize. At the time of publishing, he sat 14th in chips among the 65 players still remaining.

Quan Tran leads the field, with bracelet winners Lawrence Brandt, Daniel Willis, Danny Wong, and Nick Guagenti also in the hunt.
