The $10,200 Mystery Bounty event at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa has now reached a conclusion and a champion has been crowned at the PokerStars European Poker Tour Cyprus.

A total of 102 entries were made to the event, which generated a prize pool of $989,400, breaking down as $479,400 in the regular prize pool and $510,000 in bounty prizes. Of those who entered, 13 players made the money and took the min-cash of at least $9,600.

After a tough and lengthy Day 2, Oleg Semionov of Lithuania emerged as the outright winner. He walked away with the top prize of $127,900 ($192,900 including bounties), as well as the PokerStars Spade trophy and the prestige of winning his first major live tournament.

��Sometimes we play poker home games, and sometimes I come here to Merit to play �C but mostly cash games not really tournaments��, said Semionov. ��We used to have offices in Larnaca, so that��s why (I have played here before).��

This was Semionov��s first PokerStars series, and he��s enjoyed it, particularly commenting on the good dealers and pointing to the investments Merit has made in the hotels, casinos, and resorts. Aside from being a positive experience, it��s also been a lucrative outcome.

��It��s nice to win. To win a tournament is probably the best feeling in poker. And it��s a good prize, so even better.��

Semionov was locked in a lengthy three-player battle on the final table before going heads-up against the more experienced tournament player, Aliaksandr Hirs of Belarus. According to Hendon Mob, Hirs has $715,370 in live tournament earnings, including a third-place finish in the ESPT Barcelona in 2022.

After players got their chips in the middle for a coin flip, Hirs had to settle for second place and $82,500. Hirs won��t be too disappointed, especially considering that moments before the event finished, he pulled the $50,000 bounty envelope to add to his prize money. Including bounties, Hirs took $195,000 from the tournament.

The other player involved in that three-way battle was Antoine Labat, a French pro with $3,126,567 in recorded live tournament winnings. Labat put up a good fight before making a shove and running into pocket kings. He exited in third place and claimed $58,900 in prize money.

Although he didn't make the final table, Jinho Hong also made a tidy sum from the tournament. He was eliminated in 11th place for $11,850, but on making his exit, he became the first to pull one of the $50,000 bounty prizes.
