The PokerStars European Poker Tour Cyprus at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa continues today with Day 2 of the $3,000 Mystery Bounty. Over yesterday's only starting flight, 779 players found their way to the felt to compete. Of those, only 185 remain. However, with registration still open until the start of Day 2, this number is only anticipated to grow.
As the dust settled, it was Uladzimir Zhyharau who took the all-important title of chip leader, accumulating an impressive sum of 368,000. However, Zhyharau was closely tailed for the accolade as his nearest competitor, Ray Qartomy, secured an equally plentiful stack of 360,000.
Start of Day 2 Top 10 Chip Counts:
| Name | Country | Chips |
|---|---|---|
| Uladzimir Zhyharau | Belarus | 368,000 |
| Ray Qartomy | United States | 360,000 |
| Karen Nazarian | Russia | 349,500 |
| Lukas Zaskodny | Czech Republic | 321,500 |
| Morten Klein | Norway | 320,500 |
| Stoyan Obreshkov | Bulgaria | 309,500 |
| Nenad Dukic | Croatia | 303,000 |
| Georges Sultanem | Lebanon | 296,000 |
| Matthias Lipp | Austria | 290,000 |
| Aleksandr Kirichenko | Russia | 285,000 |
A stacked field of familiar faces ensured many notable names would be returning to the felt for Day 2. High-stakes regular Morten Klein managed to accumulate a top-ten start after winning a monster pot late into Day 1; Klein’s full house had an easy decision when Moussa Thibaut turned his missed flush draw into a big bluff.
German crusher Samuel Ju will also be returning to the field this afternoon. Ju fired more than one bullet in yesterday’s flight, but it was his final attempt late into the night that yielded the best result. The floor had already announced just five more hands will be played to conclude yesterday’s Day 1 flight; Ju sat down to play his first hand of this bullet and instantly sucked out to double up.
At the start of Day 2, all players will be given a Mystery Bounty Token upon seating; if you eliminate a player you will collect their Mystery Bounty Token. Any time after 5:15 p.m. (the second break), players can take any collected tokens to the Mystery Bounty desk to draw an envelope. The Mystery Bounty prize amounts will be determined by tournament entries and remaining players and will be announced by the tournament floor.
PokerNews will have boots on the ground for the entirety of this Mystery Bounty as the event plays down to a winner tomorrow, so be sure to stick with the live updates to keep up with all the action.
