The clouds have broken in Monaco and it’s time for Day 1 of the €3,000 Mystery Bounty at the 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour presented by Monte-Carlo Casino?. Cards go in the air at 2 p.m. local time for this three-day event.
The last €3,000 Mystery Bounty was held at EPT Paris and a field of 787 turned out to award the winner’s share of the €2,115,456 prize pool to Humberto Lopes Galindo of Portugal. The 2022 Prague edition saw Mathieu Di Meglio outlast a large field of 776 to win a tournament that offered two €100,000 bounties.
