The $100,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event concluded at 888poker on May 12, and for the second consecutive week, the $10,000 jackpot bounty was unclaimed at the start of the final table. With the regular prize pool's top prize weighing in at $8,140, having a $10,000 bounty in play dramatically shifted the dynamics among the finalists.

Although Brazilian "betsoares" didn't capture the $10,000 bounty, they were crowned the tournament's champion, and saw their 888poker bankroll swell by $9,326, giving them ample ammunition for the upcoming 2025 XL Spring Series.

$100,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event Final Table Chip Counts

None of the eighth finalists were particularly short-stacked, with eighth-placed "Valerius0" sitting down behind 24 big blinds worth of chips. However, "Valerius0" was the first player out of the door, unable to get away from third-pair after "ExploitMe" had turned two pair.

The elimination of "DjonyDep345" sent the 888poker Twitch stream rail into raptures because they had the $10,000 bounty on their head. "ExploitMe" opened with pocket aces, and "DjonyDep345" got a little overexcited with their ace-ten in the big blind and opted to move all-in for 27 big blinds. Obviously, "ExploitMe" snap-called, the aces held, and the golden envelope opened to reveal a cool $10,000.

With the massive bounty out of the way, and the implications it brought, the remaining six players could relax and get on with playing their way to the title.

"GiordanoKK" became "ExploitMe"'s third victim and fell in sixth before "DiosTeAma" ran their suited ace-queen into the suited Big Slick of "Fl4tbush20" and busted in fifth.

Fourth place went to "ExploitMe," the tournament's biggest winner. "ExploitMe" was second in chips at the start of four-handed play, yet they were relieved of their stack. Their final action in this week's $100,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event was to three-bet all-in for 14 big blinds with ace-five and lose to "maki_makich"'s dominating ace-ten.

That hand pushed "maki_makich"'s stack north of 100 big blinds, more than five times as many chips as either of their last two rivals. When their ace-seven bested the queen-jack of "Fl4tbush20," "maki_makich" went into heads-up holding a better than two-to-one chip lead over "betsoares."

"betsoares" almost immediately reversed the chip counts and began turning the screw. Two hours and ten minutes into the final table's action, "betsoares" min-raised with ace-deuce, "maki_makich" three-bet with king-jack, and called when the initial raiser clicked it back. The seven-high all-spade flop was always going to generate action because both players held a spade: "betsoares" the ace and "maki_makich" the jack.

"betsoares" bet one-fifth pot when checked to before quickly calling when "maki_makich" ripped in their stack. Neither player hit their flush, and "betsoares" saw the final pot of the tournament slide their way.
