PokerStars launched its first mystery bounty tournaments during the recent New Year Series, changing the $109 Sunday Million into this exciting format. The switch proved popular, with 16,234 entrants creating a $1,623,400 prize pool. PokerStars decided to up the ante during the New Year Series Afterparty, running a $5,200 buy-in mystery bounty event guaranteeing $1 million.

Including re-entries, 171 high rollers bought into the $5,200 Mystery Bounty Main Event resulting in a $145,000 overlay, which was quite surprising considering how well the New Year Series.

The top 20 finishers helped themselves to some of the $500,000 regular prize pool. Players like PokerStars’ Parker “tonkaaaa” Talbot, Christoph “26071985” Vogelsang, and Talal “raidalot” Shakerchi were among the in the money finishers.

NYS Afterparty: $5,200 NLHE 8-Max Mystery Bounty Main Event

Rank	Player	Country	Prize
1	Thomas “WushuTM” Muehloecker	Austria	$86,186
2	Ilya “Leqenden” Anatsky	Belarus	$70,091
3	Oledjan	Thailand	$57,001
4	Pablo “pabritz” Brito Silva	Brazil	$46,356
5	Pedro “PaDiLhA SP” Padilha	Brazil	$37,699
6	Aliaksandr “Alexgirs” Hirs	Poland	$30,659
7	Rodrigo “SELOUAN1991” Selouan	Brazil	$24,933
8	AcidVaule	Belarus	$20,277
9	Leonard “Grozzorg” Maue	Austria	$16,490

Austrian star Leonard “Grozzorg” Maue was the first of the nine finalists to find himself void of chips. Maue’s ninth-place finish came with a $16,490 reward.

Belarusian “AcidVaule” was the next to fall ($20,277), and they were joined on the sidelines by Rodrigo “SELOUAN1991” Selouan ($24,933) and Aliaksandr “Alexgirs” Hirs ($30,659).

The final five became four and then three after the untimely demise of two Brazilian grinders. First, Pedro “PaDiLhA SP” Padilha bowed out in fifth ($37,699) then Pablo “pabritz” Brito Silva ran out of steam in fourth place ($46,356).

The $5,200 PokerStars Mystery Bounty Main Event progressed to its heads-up stage following the exit of Thailand’s “Oledjan,” a finish worth $57,001. That elimination left Thomas “WushuTM” Muehloecker in a one-on-one clash with the Belarusian legend Ilya “leqenden” Anatsky.

Either of the heads-up players would have made a worthy champion, but only one man would be able to claim that title. It was Muehloecker who came out of the final battle unscathed and with the $86,186 top prize in tow. Add $27,777 worth of mystery bounties to that score, and Muehloecker banked an impressive $113,963 for his victory. Anatsky reeled in $70,091.

Two other big mystery bounty tournaments ran alongside the $5,200 edition. The $1,050 version drew in a crowd of 949 players who fought it out for the lion’s share of the $1 million prize pool.

Latvia’s “xpronto” finished top of the tree, resulting in a $70,279 prize landing in their PokerStars account. The Latvian eliminated 10 opponents on their way to victory and double-digits worth of mystery bounties totaled $11,648, meaning they took home $81,927.

A $109 buy-in mystery bounty drew in 5,685 entrants, who created a guarantee-busting $1,337,000 prize pool. Including the 11 mystery bounties they won, “$oloBlanco” walked away with $70,205 and the title of champion.
