The 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Monte Carlo series continues to produce exciting action and the final day of the €3,000 Mystery Bounty should be no different. With notable contenders and bounty tokens on the line, the event is shaping up to provide a dramatic day in Monaco.
When Day 3 begins at noon local time, the 16 returning players will be led by Nicola Grieco's stack of 2,850,000 chips. Right behind him sits Romanian Adrian State and Frenchman Mathieu Di Meglio, who is looking for a second big score of the series at the beautful Sporting Monte-Carlo.
The tournament saw a total of 743 entries, creating a prize pool of €1,274,988. All of the remaining players have locked up at least €10,450, with the top prize of €232,898 still to be awarded. There are also 17 bounty prizes to be claimed, with the top figure sitting at €25,000 after a busy Day 2.

Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Milos Petakovic raised from the button to 80,000, and both Nicola Grieco in the small blind and Mohamed Mehalleg in the big blind called.
On the flop of 3♦4♣5♣, both blinds checked to Petakovic, who bet 90,000. Only Mehalleg called.
Mehalleg also check-called Petakovic's bet of 135,000 on the turn, which revealed the J♦.
The river card was the 7♣, prompting Mehalleg to push all in. Petakovic requested a count from the dealer and ultimately called the 225,000. Mehalleg promptly revealed his hand, showing 5♥6♥ for a straight, doubling up his stack.

Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Mathieu Di Meglio opened to 80,000 in early position and was called by Paul Runcan in the cutoff. Adrian State also came along in the small blind, as did Yves Piacentino in the big blind.
The 7♣3♣6♣ flop saw all four players check, with the dealer flipping over the 2♠ turn. State checked to Piacentino, who fired 100,000. Di Meglio folded before Runcan raised to 270,000. State mucked, while Piacentino made the call.
Piacentino checked the 5♣ river, laying his hand down after Runcan fired 620,000 to claim the pot.
