Bounties in Play for Day 2 of the €3,000 Mystery Bounty
Play resumes at the PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague, with Day 2 of the €3,000 Mystery Bounty. Commencing at 12:30 p.m. local time at the Hilton Prague, players will continue battling it out with €1,000 of the buy-in going to the bounty pool.
159 of the 642 entrants from Day 1 bagged a stack for the start of play today, with plenty more players expected to enter before the end of the registration period. Late registration ends when play resumes, and all new players will receive a starting stack of 30,000 chips.
Day 2 sees the mystery bounties come into play, and each player will get a bounty token. Players earns tokens by busting others, and the tokens will allow them to pull one golden envelope per player they eliminate.
Leading the field is Fehim Hajdari from Denmark, who bagged a stack of 310,000 chips. This puts the Dane in a good position to take bounties from shorter stacks left over from Day 1, or fresh faces entering today's action. Hajdari is looking for his third cash in Prague, after claiming a min-cash in the €1,050 Hyper Turbo Freezeout and €1,100 Eureka Main Event.
Second is Alexandru Danes, who collected 306,500 on Day 1, while Gab Yong Kim sits in third place on the leaderboard with 301,500 chips.
