: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Day 2 of the $5,000 Mystery Bounty, running as part of the Triton ONE North Cyprus, has now concluded. Of the 151 players who returned to the tables at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel and Spa, only nine remain. They have agreed to return to play out the final table on November 10th at 1p.m. local time to see who will walk away with the $293,000 top prize.
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Eric Tsai | Taiwan | 28,000,000 | 70 |
| 2 | Punnat Punsri | Thailand | 22,750,000 | 57 |
| 3 | Daniel Braude | Israel | 15,800,000 | 40 |
| 4 | Quan Zhou | China | 15,700,000 | 39 |
| 5 | Raul Yunusov | Russian Federation | 13,150,000 | 33 |
| 6 | Ihar Soika | Belarus | 11,275,000 | 28 |
| 7 | Mikita Badziakouski | Belarus | 7,975,000 | 20 |
| 8 | Chengxu Hu | China | 6,125,000 | 15 |
| 9 | Asaf Groofi | Israel | 575,000 | 1.5 |
Eric Tsai topped the counts as players bagged their chips. He has 28,000,000, helped by a 70 big blind pot in which he had pocket aces versus ace-king and pocket queens. The poker vlogger held and sent two of his opponents to the rail shortly before the day closed. Tsai is an experienced player who picked up his first seven-figure score last month. He is bound to cause trouble if his form continues.
Punnat Punsri is not too far behind in the counts with 22,750,000, and has been on the right end of his coolers, including a late elimination that he delivered to Aliaksei Boika, out in 11th place.
Daniel Braude rounds out the top three with 15,800,000, which is quite the run considering he was down to less than two big blinds before winning no less than four double-ups during the last two levels of play.
Most of the players left on the final table have had their share of big scores. Among the most experienced is Mikita Badziakouski with over $69.4 million in live tournament winnings to his name on TheHendonMob. Meanwhile, Asaf Groofi sits at the bottom of the pack with just one big blind.
Final Table Payouts
All players on the final table have locked up $23,100 plus any bounties, with the winner set to take $293,000.
| Place | Prize |

| 1 | $293,000 |
| 2 | $179,000 |

Action folded to Daniel Braude, who raised to 1,200,000 from the small blind with Q♠Q♦. Asaf Groofi called with K♠8♠ in the big blind.
Braude opted to check on the J♠8♣7♥ flop, and Groofi checked it back, picking up a flush draw on the 3♠ turn to go with his pair. Braude bet 1,400,000 and Groofi called.
The 2♦ river was a blank for Groofi, but he was still put to the test when Braude shoved for 5,100,000. Groofi went into the tank, looking across at his opponent before making the call.
Braude got the double up with his pocket queens, taking him back to over 15 million in chips. Groofi had to leave the table for a moment before returning to his short stack.

Daniel Braude: 5♣5♦

The flop came 8♣2♠9♥ and Boika checked. Punsri bet 425,000 and Boika responded with a check-raise to 1,300,000, which Punsri called.
Punsri picked up the nut flush draw on the 7♥ turn to go with his overcards. Boika shoved for 3,000,000 into the 4,250,000 pot. Punsri called.
The 3♥ river ended Boika's run. Punsri took Boika's stack and bounty, sending him to the rail.
Boika was eliminated in 11th place for $19,000.
