PokerNews Online Championship players will clash in an array of tournaments, including mystery bounties, PKOs, Deep Stacks, short-handed games, and some unique formats.

Belea Bags More Than $27K and Main Event Title

Razvan Belea
Razvan Belea

In the inaugural PokerNews Online Championship Mystery Bounty Main Event, EPT Main Event champion Razvan "RazvyB" Belea topped the 1,627 runner field to scoop a total of $27,654, with $25,626 of that coming from his first place finish.

It was another 888poker major title for the Romanian, who won the 2021 888poker LIVE Bucharest Main Event for �50,000.

However, Brazil's "Dangerzinn" was the biggest monetary winner in the Main Event as he banked the $30,000 mystery bounty prize en route to his 16th-place finish��quite the return from a $215 investment. Another big story from the Main Event was written by bronze medalist "dainuciuks". The Lithuanian-based player won their way into the tournament via a freeroll and was able to parlay that into a $16,980 payday.

The last edition of the Main Event came with a $300,000 guarantee, and was obliterated with the final prize pool reaching $325,400.
