€10,200 Mystery Bounty Event Offers First Chance for High Rollers to Pick Up a Trophy

The PokerStars European Poker Tour, running at the Hilton Prague, is now underway in the beautiful, historic city of Prague. One of the first events on the schedule is the €10,200 Mystery Bounty event, which tends to attract a small, yet talented field of players who are looking for an early victory and a coveted spade trophy.

In exchange for the entry fee, players begin with starting stacks of 100,000. Blind levels start at 500/1,000 with a 1,000 big blind ante, which makes for stacks that are 100 big blinds deep as the tournament commences.

Blind levels increase every 30 minutes, with a 20-minute break scheduled at the end of Level 4 and Level 8. Day 1 will run for 10 Levels and late registration remains open until the start of Day 2. Players can take a single re-entry during the course of the event.

A shot clock will be implemented from the start, which grants players 15 seconds to act on their first decision and 30 seconds thereafter. Everyone starts with four time-bank cards and gains an additional time-bank after each odd level.

Half of the entry fee, €5,000, goes towards the bounty prize pool. Bounties come into play at the start of Level 13 on Day 2.

Last year's winner was Oleg Vasylchenko, who overcame a field of 56 entries for his first EPT title following a heads-up deal with Enrico Camosci. Vasylchenko claimed €74,673 for first place along with €80,000 in bounties, adding up to a grand total of €154,673.
