EPT Cyprus $10,200 Mystery Bounty Continues Today at 12:30 p.m.
The PokerStars European Poker Tour Cyprus at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa continues today with Day 2 of the $10,200 Mystery Bounty. Over yesterday's only starting flight, 83 entrants found their way to the felt to compete. Of those, only 53 remain. However, with registration still open until the end of Level 10, this number is only anticipated to grow.
As the dust settled, it was Kanan Taherkhani who took the all-important title of chip leader as he managed to accumulate an impressive sum of 756,500. Taherkhani remains way out in front of his nearest competitor, Christian Rudolph, who amassed 490,000, by the end of proceedings.

Day 2 starts October 12 at 12:30 p.m. local time with late registration remaining open until the end of Level 10, which will be around 1:30 p.m. There's only a single reentry available in the event and approximately 15 percent of the field will be paid. The plan for the day's proceedings is to play down to the winner, through 30-minute levels.
Of the total buy-in, $5,000 will go towards the bounty prize pool, with mystery bounty tokens coming into play, today, at the start of Level 13. Bounty prizes will not be confirmed until after the close of registration, but it is expected that the largest bounty will be worth $100,000.
