The final flights of the €1,150 Luxon Mystery Bounty are to be held today at the Royal Dublin Society here in Ireland.

Yesterday saw Mark Finnane bag the biggest and will have a stack of 448,500 when he returns for Day 2. Finnane's game of choice appears to be Pot Limit Omaha based on his cashes and entries but he will be looking to eclipse his largest Hold'em cash of €9,965 which came here in Dublin.
Leonel Guerra Garza claimed second spot with 416,500 and will be looking to add to his $291,181 in career tournament earnings with a deep run and some bounty pulls here in Dublin. HIs last European cash came in Madrid last March and has mainly been playing his live poker in Brazil.
Scott Stewart bagged 414,800 putting him in third place in this flight. The American will be looking to put his stack and personality to good use come Day 2 and will be aiming to add another victory to his 21 total tournament wins. He currently has $5,694,041 in live tournament earnings and will be looking for a first European cash.
