Denmark has an 888poker $100,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event champion, and that person goes by the alias “otteotteotte.” The Dane topped a field of 948 entrants to walk away with $9,159 of the $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Day 1 saw the field trimmed to the eight-handed final table. 888poker ambassador Ian “Simpioni” Simpson put together a deep run, which ended in a 91st-place finish worth $171, including bounties.
The largest haul of the tournament went to Lithuania’s “Dar1nskas” despite finishing in 13th place. “Dar1nskas” collected $390 for their 13th-place exit, but they also took home $10,242 from the bounty prize pool courtesy of pulling the $10,000 jackpot bounty before crashing out.
Ireland’s “Kassir27” fell in ninth to pop the final table bubble, and the eight finalists returned to the action on June 23, with play streamed on 888poker’s popular Twitch channel.

This week’s $100,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event final table had a different vibe to it in that none of the players were desperately short-stacked. Often, there is one runaway chip leader and a couple of sub-ten big blind stacks, but not this time around.
“Prodigy17x” sat down as the chip leader with 80 big blinds, and only eight big blinds separated them from third place. The shortest stack, “KeepthisFlat,” had 17 big blinds in their stack.
Nothing went right for Canadian “FLCOVE” and they saw their stack dwindle to 11 big blinds during the first 45 minutes of play. They min-raised with king-queen from under the gun and were called by “VortexMorado.” A nine-three-five rainbow flop was met with a half-pot continuation bet from “FLCOVE,” which “VortextMorado” three-bet all-in. Despite only holding king-high, “FLCOVE” called off the six big blinds they had behind, only to be shown pocket aces. “FLCOVE” turned a queen, but the river bricked, and it was game over.

The flow of eliminations was steady from that point. “Stanimal14” of Ukraine busted in seventh for $1,446 before “VortexMorado” ran out of steam in sixth, a finish good for $2,419. The United Kingdom’s “thuyy” saw their run end in a fifth-place finish worth $3,612, with “perrivini” taking home $3,379 after falling in fourth.
Having sat down at the final table with the fewest chips, “KeepthisFlat” had mounted an impressive comeback and found themselves in the final three. However, they wouldn’t progress any further after they open-shoved from the small blind with king-eight for 12.5 big blinds, and “Prodigy17x” looked them up with pocket jacks. “Prodigy17x” turned a full house to send the $100,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event into the heads-up stage.
“Prodigy17x” held a substantial 56.6 to 14.9 big blind advantage at the start of heads-up play, but “otteotteotte” immediately clawed themselves back level. Neither player could shake off the other, but something had to give eventually.
It did in a seemingly innocuous hand where “Prodigy17x” min-raised with king-deuce and “otteotteotte” called with four-three of clubs. A deuce-five-five flop with one club sparked a betting and raising war that ultimately saw “Prodigy17x” all-in and at risk. The seven of clubs on the turn gave “otteotteotte” outs to a flush in addition to their live hole cards. The river was an offsuit three, which was still enough to bust “Prodigy17x” in second place and claim the title for the Dane.
