The 888poker $80,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event concluded on August 3 with Austria’s “CKrilP0” taking the title, converting a $109 buy-in into an $11,130 score. The event attracted 752 entrants, once again producing an overlay for the platform’s flagship tournament.

Both the winner and runner-up secured five-figure payouts, a rare occurrence made possible by the lucrative mystery bounty prizes. Five of the six biggest bounty rewards were claimed by players who reached the final table.

“Antontog” arrived at the nine-handed final table as chip leader, having also collected more than $10,000 in mystery bounties, including the tournament’s $8,000 jackpot prize. The first elimination came 30 minutes in, when Brazil’s Joao “joao_mathis” Mathis lost a king-jack versus king-nine flip to “M.Baranov,” who rivered a nine.

The next 75 minutes saw the remaining field collapse rapidly. Notable eliminations included “pickpocketRL” in seventh and Brazil’s “feliperamonw,” who busted in back-to-back hands after returning from a break.

Play continued to thin as “CoinFlip50” fell in a two-pair battle against “Tiltinvasion,” and “M.Baranov” exited in fourth after his pocket sevens lost to “Antontog”‘s jacks. “Tiltinvasion” then departed in third when an ace-king from “Antontog” outran his ace-nine.

Heads-up play began with “Antontog” holding a healthy chip lead, though both finalists had already locked up substantial bounty money. Momentum shifted after “CKrilP0” won a key pot with ace-king against ace-trey, propelling them toward victory. The tournament ended when “Antontog”‘s open-shove with ten-seven ran into “CKrilP0″‘s pocket sixes, which held to seal the championship and a $15,362 runner-up prize for “Antontog.”
