Andrews earned $111,300 from the main prize pool and an additional $220,000 in bounties
Cherish Andrews has added another major win to her outstanding 2025 campaign, capturing the $10,300 Mystery Bounty event at the PokerStars North American Poker Tour stop in Las Vegas. The tournament, held at Resorts World, drew 84 entrants and featured some of the toughest names in poker. Andrews earned $111,300 from the main prize pool and collected an additional $220,000 in bounties, pushing her total winnings from the event to $331,300.
The victory extends what has already been a breakthrough year for Andrews. Her three biggest live scores have all come in 2025, including a $408,265 win in a $25,000 high roller at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown in April and a runner-up finish in another $25,000 event there in August for $318,427. With this latest success, Andrews’ career live earnings have climbed to nearly $4.7 million, with more than $1.4 million coming from this year alone.
Andrews’ win also made a major impact on the 2025 rankings. She picked up 480 Card Player Player of the Year points, bringing her total to 2,904 and placing her inside the top 100 overall. The victory also added 111 PokerGO Tour points, lifting her total to 364 and putting her among the top 150 in that race. It marks her second qualifying title and ninth final-table finish of the year, solidifying her position among the most consistent players on the circuit.
To claim the title, Andrews had to navigate a final table stacked with high-caliber opponents. Among those finishing deep were Landon Tice, Cary Katz, Clemen Deng, and 2023 NAPT high roller winner Sam Laskowitz. Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Nick Petrangelo finished runner-up, while David Coleman took third. For Andrews, the win represents not just another payday but confirmation that she belongs among the elite in today’s high-stakes poker scene.
