€1,150 Luxon Mystery Bounty
Day 3 Started
Of the 1222 total entrants over the last four days, only 30 remain in Day 3 of the €1,150 Luxon Mystery Bounty here at the 2025 Irish Open. Florian Duta leads the surviving players with a stack of 5,510,000 and will be looking to further add to his chip count when play resumes at 12 p.m. local time at the Royal Dublin Society.
Duta is the only player that has eclipsed the 5,000,000 chip mark, and Terrance Reid sits in second place. The American has a stack of 4,875,000 to unbag when play resumes today. Both players have 138 and 122 big blinds respectively and will be putting them to use to win the top prize €102,600. Nils Pudel rounds off the podium places in third with 3,895,000, good for 97 big blinds.
Jorge Rios claimed the solo six-figure bounty as he pulled an envelope worth €102,600 from the chest. This pull is equal to first place money, and he exclaimed after opening the envelope that he had "already won the tournament."

The cards are in the air for Day 3 of the €1,150 Luxon Mystery Bounty
Fabian Rolli opened to 80,000 in middle position, seeing Camille Godin call in the hijack. Philip Joyce then put in a three-bet to 320,000 from the cutoff, after which the action folded back to Rolli.
He opted to put in his stack of 2,535,000, covering both opponents. Godin quickly got out of the way, and Joyce eventually followed suit.
"I actually had a really good hand," Joyce stated as the pot was dragged Rolli's way.

Yurii Zabrodotskyi had opened from the button when Michael Khan shoved in his stack of 565,000 from the small blind. Zabrodotskyi made a quick call, and the cards were tabled.
Michael Khan: A♠5♦
Yurii Zabrodotskyi: 9♥8♥
Khan remained ahead on the 5♠7♥7♣2♠A♦ board, doubling him up.
A few hands later, Zabrodotskyi had opened from the hijack before big blind Emmett Mullin went all in for 540,000. After some deliberation, Zabrodotskyi made the call with the covering stack.
Emmett Mullin: J♦J♣
Yurii Zabrodotskyi: J♠7♣
The 3♣3♥6♦7♥ turn gave Zabrodotskyi some outs, but the 3♠ river made Mullin a higher full house to take down the pot, doubling up and leaving Zabrodtskyi with 25 big blinds.
Shortly before Leonel Guerra Garza was eliminated from another table.

Action was picked up on the river of 7♥5♠8♠7♦Q♠ with around 1,100,000 in the pot. Philip Joyce was all in and at risk for around 200,000. Stephen Freeman, Terrance Reid and Fabian Rolli all got into the pot to attempt to claim Joyce's bounty token.
The river was checked down and all cards had to be shown. Freeman had 9♣10♥, Reid had A♣4♣ but Joyce had the winner with 8♥7♣ for a full house.

Vikrum Mehta open-jammed his small blind, and Kelley Slay quickly called off his last 315,000 in the big blind.
Kelley Slay: A♦6♣
Vikrum Mehta: 7♦4♦
Mehta flopped trips on 3♦4♠4♣ for a commanding lead, while Slay turned a glimmer of hope with the A♣. The J♦ river bricked, however, leaving Slay empty-handed.
"What can I do?" he asked rhetorically before leaving the tournament area.

Tobias Peters raised to 80,000 in the cutoff and called a three-bet to 350,000 from big blind Sandro Zarriello.
Zarriello continued for 500,000 on the J♦3♠10♥ flop, which Peters called after some thought. Zarriello then moved his remaining 800,000 in on the K♥ turn, being snap-called by Peters.
Sandro Zarriello: A♠A♦
Tobias Peters: 3♦3♣
Peters had flopped a set for a big lead over Zarriello's aces. The 5♠ river did not give Zarriello a straight or a higher set, and he was consequently eliminated.
