Yusupov Claims His First Bounty

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Five players saw the flop come down 295, with Sergei Rozevika being all-in preflop for his last 125,000.

The other four players checked to see the 2 drop on the turn. The blinds checked and Mekan Yusupov, who had been the initial preflop raiser, bet out for 350,000. Everyone folded and the cards were revealed with Yusupov looking for a bounty.

Sergei Rozevika: A10 All in
Mekan Yusupov: AQ

Yusupov was ahead with the better ace-high, but Rozevika did have a flush draw. The Q hit the river and Yusupov had claimed Rozevika's bounty.

Halabi Shoves on Tot

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Mazen Halabi opened to 125,000 from early position with only Aleksandar Tot defending from the big blind.

When the A hit the turn, Tot continued with a bet of 200,000. Halabi thought for a few moments before shoving for Tot's remaining 600,000. Tot instantly folded and Halabi added to his stack.

The $1,100 Mystery Bounty is back at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa as part of the 2025 Mediterranean Poker Party. With a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool, players flocked to the felt over the past two days to take their shot across five opening flights—all hoping to bag chips and go bounty hunting on Day 2.

A total of 1,496 entries were recorded across the five Day 1 flights, smashing the guarantee. Today marks Day 2, where the remaining 225 players will come together for the first time to battle it out all the way down to a winner.

Leading the charge today is Georgia’s Giorgiy Skhulukhiya, who bagged a towering 5,505,000 chips on Day 1d. Hot on his heels is Russia’s Mikhail Zavoloka with 5,185,000, while Altynbek Ashimov rounds out the top three with a healthy 5,085,000 in chips. These three were the only players to surpass the five-million chip mark.
