Final Day of €3,000 EPT Monte Carlo Mystery Bounty Begins at 12 p.m. CEST

Calum_Grant

The PokerStars EPT presented by Monte-Carlo Casino® is reaching its last few days of action, and one event that wraps up today is the €3,000 EPT Monte Carlo Mystery Bounty.

The final day of the tournament gets underway at 12 p.m. local time, and sees 15 players returning to Sporting Monte-Carlo to battle it out for the remainder of the €1,163,448 prize pool. Those who still remain have already locked up €11,100, but of course, all eyes will be on the €224,448 that awaits the winner.

One of the most exciting aspects of Mystery Bounty events are the mystery bounty prizes, and they did not disappoint in the principality. Aurelien Russo and Sam Greenwood pulled the €100,000 mystery bounty prize, with the other big bounties being dished out throughout Day 2. Only €1,000 bounties remain, which could cause play to be cautious for today's session.

Florian Montes Eliminated in 15th Place (€11,100)

Calum_Grant

Nível 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Ignacio Sole Aparicio opened to 100,000 from middle position and Florian Montes defended his big blind.

Montes check-jammed for 375,000 on the A♣10♦7♦ flop and was snap-called by Aparicio.

Florian Montes: A♦7♠
Ignacio Sole Aparicio: 10♣10♠

"Wow," exclaimed the table as the hands were turned over. Montes had flopped two pair but was behind the set of tens helf by Aparicio.

The J♠4♣ runout was of no help to Montes and he departed in 15th place.

Jogador	Fichas	Progresso
Ignacio Sole Aparicio	1,500,000	365,000
Florian Montes	Eliminado

Navarro Doubles Up Early on Day 3

Nível 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Action folded around to Mario Navarro, who pushed all in from the hijack. Andrea Crobu asked for a count, which was 550,000, and then made the call. Players flipped their cards, with Navarro at risk.

Mario Navarro: 10♦10♣
Andrea Crobu: 8♦8♣

Crobu had pocket eights and Navarro had the higher pair, pocket tens. The board ran out K♦4♦A♦2♣4♠ and neither player improved. That gave Navarro an early double up on Day 3.

Jogador	Fichas	Progresso
Andrea Crobu	2,750,000	75,000
Mario Navarro	1,200,000	650,000

Another One for Navarro

Calum_Grant

Nível 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Mario Navarro opened to 100,000 from the hijack and was called by Aliaksei Boika and Igor Yaroshevskyy from the button and big blind.

Navarro continued for 100,000 on the A♥K♣7♥ flop and only Boika called. Boika then called for 355,000 on the 10♣ turn before the 8♥ river checked through to showdown. Navarro tabled his A♣Q♥ for a pair of aces and Boika mucked.
