Zahlreiche weitere Turniere laufen bei der European Poker Tour (EPT) Cyprus Festival im Merit Royal Diamond Hotel & Casino neben dem Main Event: Am Freitagabend wurde das $3k Mystery Bounty entschieden und Tag 1 im $10.300 EPT High Roller gespielt.
981 Registrations konnte das $3.000 EPT Zypern Mystery Bounty verzeichen und so einen $2.664.396, Preispool zusammenbekommen.
$981.000 davon wurden in Mystery Bounties verlost! Alle Spieler hofften auf die zwei $75.000 Big-Bounties, die am Ende an Francesco Blasio aus Italien und Georgios Vrakas aus Deutschland in Tag 2 rausgingen.
Das beste Ergebnis aus deutschsprachiger Sicht gab es am Ende aber für Manuel Fischer. Der konnte inklusive Bounties $111.950 auf Platz 5 aus dem Turnier mitnehmen.
Auch für Samuel Ju (Platz 21, $13.250), Philipp Krummenlacher (Platz 27, $10.050), Tom Fuchs (Platz 43, $9.300) und Stefan Lehner (Platz 45, $9.300) lief es nicht schlecht.
Schweizer Alexandre Vuilleumier schied zwar auf Platz 139 aus – bis dahin hatte er aber schon satte Bounties eingesammelt, $30.050 nahm er aus dem Turnier mit.
Gewinnen konnte das Turnier am Ende Quan Zhou aus Hongkong, der inklusive Bounties mit $283.623 und goldener Trophäe das Turnier beenden konnte.
