888poker Mystery Bounty Festival

The inaugural 888poker Mystery Bounty Festival is rapidly nearing its conclusion, with only two more numbered events and the final few Main Event flights remaining on the schedule. Only three Day 1s are left in the $160 buy-in $300,000 guaranteed Main Event. They take place at 3:30 p.m. GMT, 5:00 p.m. GMT, and 6:00 p.m. GMT on March 6, with Day 2 shuffling up and dealing at 8:00 p.m. GMT, also on March 6.

So far, 1,490 players have bought in, making up $223,500 of the $300,000 guarantee. Of those starters, only 273 have punched their Day 2 tickets and will fight it out for a slice of the main prize pool and have a golden mystery bounty envelope placed on their heads. One of those prize-awarding envelopes contains a massive $30,000 payout, which will be worth more than the first-place prize money!

"pinvoypuzec" of Montenegro is the player to catch in the Mystery Bounty Festival Main Event right now. They turned their 10,000-starting stack into a tournament-leading 236,134, or 94 big blinds if you prefer.

The player just behind the leader needs no introduction because they have been a top-tier online poker grinder for the best part of two decades. Chile's Nicolas "PKaiser" Fierro has accumulated more than $13 million in cashes during his long and illustrious career, with approximately $550,000 of that princely sum stemming from his play on 888poker. Fierro looks set to nudge that figure towards the $600,000 mark if he continues his impressive early form in the Main Event. Fierro returns to the action second in chips with a 218,719 stack, or 87 big blinds.

Play on Day 2 continues until only nine players remain, and those finalists enjoy a brief rest before returning to the action from 7:00 p.m. GMT on March 7 under the watchful eyes of the 888poker Twitch viewers.

Seventh 888poker players bought into the $525 Mystery Bounty event, ensuring the $35,000 guarantee was met. Only the nine players that navigated their way to the final table received a slice of the main pot, and nobody secured more of that prize money that the United Kingdom's "hell0_br0tti." First-place prize money weighed in at $5,250, a prize that swelled to $6,708 with the addition of $1,458 worth of bounties.

The player who finished as the runner-up, Belarus' "GoodStoryDMG" actually won almost double the money of the champion! GoodStoryDMG scooped $12,045 in total, thanks, in part, to helping themselves to $8,545 from the bounty prize pool, including the $3,500 jackpot bounty!

Swede Secures Event 27 Title

The 27th event of the Mystery Bounty Festival may have only cost $55 to enter, yet it paid out $50,000! Some 964 players bought in, and Sweden's "Walkeer_Boh" outlasted them all, capturing a $7,474 payout, which gave their bankroll a serious boost.

This event had a top-paying mystery bounty that tipped the scales at $5,000. That prize went to fifth-place finisher "dukacgl" of Brazil, who walked away with a total haul worth $6,439, a sum only surpassed by the worthy champion.
