Romanian player “getoverhere” has won 888poker’s $80,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event, overcoming a rocky stretch at the final table where their stack dipped below six big blinds. Starting with half the chips of the tournament’s chip leader, they eventually collected every chip in play to claim the title.
The $109 buy-in tournament drew 776 total entries, slightly surpassing its $80,000 guarantee. Mystery bounties were introduced at the start of Level 18, adding an extra layer of drama as players began opening golden envelopes for hidden cash prizes.
Costa Rica’s “estebanss12” exited in 22nd place for $232 but still left with the tournament’s biggest overall payout. Three eliminations during the bounty phase, including hits worth $3,200 and $8,000, brought their total earnings to $11,516, more than the eventual winner received for taking down the whole event.
The final table saw several dramatic exits. “LeoJoseCarne” fell first after being crippled by pocket queens against jacks and never recovered. “Brssfrss” and “simenuts” clashed with jacks against ace-jack, with “simenuts” flopping a straight to survive.
Later stages saw “getoverhere” eliminate both “morgan33332” and “TreeOML14” with pocket queens before dispatching “MichaelBusto” in a thrilling all-in hand that gifted “getoverhere” two pair through a river six.
Heading into heads-up play with a commanding chip lead, “getoverhere” quickly finished off “simenuts,” whose jack-eight jam was no match for ace-trey of spades on an all-spade flop. The next $80,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event begins August 2, with satellites already underway for those hoping to follow in “getoverhere’s” footsteps.
