€3,000 EPT Mystery Bounty
Day 2 Completed
The PokerStars European Poker Tour (ESPT) at Casino Barcelona continued today with an action-filled Day 2 of €3,000 EPT Mystery Bounty. Over the Day 1 flight yesterday and an additional cohort of late registers this morning, a massive 1,339 entrants made up this record-breaking Mystery Bounty tournament. Of those, 461 players found their seats this morning to battle it out over the felt, as the Mystery Bounty tokens were introduced. After 10 hours of play, only 22 remain.
As the dust settled it was Ismet Oral who bagged the chip lead having accumulated 4,750,000 by the end of Level 27 tonight. Oral remains nearly 2,000,000 chips in front of his nearest competitors EPT Paris Main Event Champion Razvan Belea and Sven Stok who managed to amass 2,920,000 and 2,700,000 respectively.

As Day 2 got underway, the focal point for every player quickly became the Mystery Bounties on offer. For each opponent they managed to eliminate, the player would be able to claim a token that would grant them the opportunity to pull a mystery bounty. While there was plenty of fortune on offer, it was the two €200,000 bounties that captivated the attention of the field.
Jan Bronkhorst was the first player to lay claim to the elusive €200,000 bounty on the seventh level of the day. With $71,814 in live recorded tournament cashes, this singular bounty exceeded over double Bronkhort’s lifetime earnings. Bronkhorst is also a top-ten stack heading into Day 3.
It wasn’t until Level 21 that the second €200,000 would picked by Samy Boujmala; this grand bounty is almost equivalent to Boujmala’s biggest live tournament cash to date.
Klas Lofberg was the beneficiary of the last six-figure bounty in the form of €100,000. While Ahmed Ibrahimi, Anthony Michel Cruz, Zlatin Penev and Michel Dattani all got their hands on a €50,000 bounty each.
The collection of €25,000 bounties found its way into the pockets of Cristinel Dumitru, Erdal Gulseven, Byron Kaverman and Marcelo De Medeiros.
With no major bounties at large, the focus of the tournament floor is starting to switch to the looming first-place prize of €374,064.
Day 3 restarts tomorrow, September 1 at 12 p.m. local time. The structure will recommence on Level 28 with blinds at 40,000/80,000 with an 80,000 big blind ante.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be back tomorrow to bring you more coverage of the Europen Poker Tour Mystery Bounty here at EPT Barcelona as we play down to a winner, so stay tuned.

The floor has announced that there will be four more hands dealt before the tournament finishes for the day.
Action was on the river on a board of 5♥3♥K♠7♥2♦. Timur Margolin moved nearly all in, keeping just 5,000 behind. Razvan Belea made the call and players turned their cards.
Margolin showed A♦3♦ for a pair of threes that he had turned into a bluff. Belea had 7♣7♠ for a set of sevens and picked off the bluff to win the pot.
Margolin did manage to bring his stack back up to 65,000 chips the next hand, winning a pot to scoop the antes and double his 5,000.
A couple of hands later, Margolin raised to 50,000 from late position, leaving 15,000 behind. Belea reraised to 150,000, Sven Stok called in the big blind, and Margolin threw his last chips in the middle.
The flop came 9♣6♣A♣. Stok checked and Belea bet 60,000, which Stok called. The turn came the 6♦. Stok checked again and Belea fired out 200,000. Stok once again called. The river was the 5♣ and both players checked to showdown.
Belea showed A♠9♥ for two pair, Stok showed Q♣10♣ for a flush and Margolin showed A♦7♦ for a pair of aces. Stok won the pot and Margolin was eliminated from the tournament in 23rd place for €11,740.
