I have a hard time understanding your comment :unsure:
Actually I'm doing well enough in those and that opponent bubbled, but even that is beside the point.

Most of the players in those games have total winnings between zero and few hundred dollars, and some maybe up to 2-3k.
But when a player with total winnings over $133k shows up, something doesn't add up.

So let's humor ourselves for a moment and break down what is seen in that screenshot.

The player has played 171986 of those games.
The player has total winnings $133331,20.
The player has won $63651,78 in bounties.
$133331,20 minus $63651,58 equals  $69679,62.

With almost 172k games played we can assume the player grinds mainly those games.
And what are the actual prizes in those 25 cent mystery bounties?
$1 for the first.
$0.75 for the second.
$0.50 for the third.

Since we already deducted the bounties from the total winnings let's calculate how much that player would have needed to win (as actual prize money) on average in those 171986 games.

$63651,58 divided by 171986 games = 37 cents in actual prize money.

Let's give the player benefit of the doubt and assume the player won second place IN EVERY OTHER GAME.
171986 divided by 2 equals 85993 games. That times $0.75 win makes $64494,75 which is in the same ball park.
We could calculate this other ways too but you probably catch my drift.

Considering the high variance and lucky suck outs in that game - nobody is that lucky.
Similar "whales" pop-up in 25 cent spin tables too.
