Oleg Vasylchenko Leads Final Table in €10,200 Mystery Bounty
Nível 19
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Day 1 of the €10,200 Mystery Bounty has concluded here at PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague with Oleg Vasylchenko bagging up the lead after amassing 1,665,000 in chips. The event drew a total of 56 entries, which generated a total prize pool of €263,200. After 19 levels of play, a final table of eight remained here at the Hilton Prague.
Vasylchenko is no stranger to poker success, having accrued over $450,000 in live-tournament earnings to date. A few months ago, Vasylchenko earned a third-place finish for €46,550 in a No-Limit Hold'em EPT Barcelona event and he now finds himself in pole position to make a run at his first EPT title. His closest competition headed into the final table is Elias Gutierrez (1,105,000), who was the only other player to bag over a million in chips.

Day 1 Action
Day 1 started off with 12 entrants and it didn't take long for the action to heat up and for players to start busting each other. Team PokerStars ambassador Fintan Hand jumped out to an early lead after catching a flush against against Elias Abussamra's flopped set of sevens. Hand wasn't able to hang onto that momentum, however, and ended up busting two bullets before late registration ended.
Team PokerStars ambassador Benjamin Spragg also fired two bullets before ultimately falling short of the money, thanks in part to losing a flip against fellow PokerStars ambassador Alejandro Lococo.
Other notables to bust after the end of late registration include Niklas Astedt, Julien Sitbon, and Nozomu Shimizu, who bluff shoved and was called lightly by Marcelo Bonanata late in the day.
The unlucky run for Team PokerStars ambassadors continued after Parker Talbot bowed out just shy of the unofficial final table after running into the aces of Elias Gutierrez.
Play slowed considerably at the unofficial final table, with many of the short-stacked players shoving and stealing the blinds uncontested. Ultimately, it would be Lococo to burst the money bubble after losing the majority of his chips by doubling up both Vasylchenko and Enrico Camosci. Lococo shoved his remaining chips and ended up running into Dimitar Danchev's aces on the final hand of the day.
Players will reconvene for Day 2 on Tuesday, December 11 at 12:30 p.m. local time. Play will resume on Level 20, which features 20,000/40,000 blinds with a 40,000 big blind ante. Levels will last 45 minutes each and the final table will also be streamed on the PokerStars YouTube and Twitch channels on a delay.
The mystery bounty portion of the prize pool will come into play during the final table and specific bounty amounts will be announced at the start of Day 2.

Now that the money bubble has burst and the official final table has been reached, the final eight players are bagging and tagging for the evening. Players will remain in their current seats for the Day 2 final table.
Stay tuned for a recap of Day 1.
Lococo Bubbles Against Aces
Nível 19
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
After getting a shove through the previous hand, Alejandro Lococo tried again in middle position with exactly six big blinds. Dimitar Danchev re-shoved from the hijack, before every player behind folded. The Argentine tabled Q♥J♦ and had one foot out the door, with his opponent showing aces.
Alejandro Lococo: Q♥J♦
Dimitar Danchev: A♦A♠
The flop of Q♣9♥9♠ gave Lococo some hope, needing another queen to go ahead.
It didn't come on the turn, with the 4♠ landing.
A 7♠ on the river completed the board and sent Lococo to the rail in ninth place.

Camosci Doubles Through Lococo
Nível 19
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Alejandro Lococo shoved for approximately 400,000 from the hijack and just behind him, Enrico Camosci called all in for his last 315,000 from the cutoff. Everyone else folded and hands were revealed.
Enrico Camosci: A♦K♦
Alejandro Lococo: 3♠3♦
It was a flip, but the K♣7♥J♥8♥4♥ runout paired Camosci's king and he doubled up through Lococo.

Bubble Still Not Burst
Nível 19
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
It's 3:06 a.m local time and the bubble still hasn't burst.
There's a lot of tense action, with short stacks shoving and winning pots uncontested.
Paul Newey, from the cutoff, is the latest to shove with less than six big blinds. He gets folds and earns a modest, yet valuable, pot.

Vasylchenko Doubles Through Lococo
Nível 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Oleg Vasylchenko opened to 50,000 on the button and just behind him, Alejandro Lococo shoved from the small blind. Action folded back to Vasylchenko, who quickly called all in for 660,000 total.
Oleg Vasylchenko: J♥J♣
Alejandro Lococo: A♥7♠
The 10♥J♠3♥2♠8♥ runout needlessly improved Vasylchenko to a set of jacks and he scored the massive double up to assume the chip lead.
