On Day 1 of the €10,200 Mystery Bounty at the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Paris, 71 entries were made, creating a provisional cash prize pool of €333,700 and bounty prize pool of €355,000. Of them, 46 will return to Le Palais des Congrès today to battle it out on Day 2. However, when the cards go in the air at 12:30 p.m. local time, late registration will still be open for two more 30-minute levels, leaving plenty of opportunity for that number to grow.
Sitting down with the most chips at the start of play is Joris Ruijs, who used his Day 1 to the fullest and grinded his way to a stack of 405,500, worth 135 big blinds when play recommences. Fellow crusher Sergi Reixach also knew a tremendous Day 1, resulting in him starting with 375,000 on Day 2. Meanwhile, hometown hero Jeremie Zouari completes the top three with 358,000 in chips.
Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Day 2 Big Blinds |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Joris Ruijs | Netherlands | 405,500 | 135 |
2 | Sergi Reixach | Spain | 375,000 | 125 |
3 | Jeremie Zouari | France | 358,000 | 119 |
4 | Mario Navarro | Spain | 353,500 | 118 |
5 | Michel Molenaar | Netherlands | 324,500 | 108 |
6 | Daisuke Ogita | Japan | 273,500 | 91 |
7 | Joakim Andersson | Sweden | 266,000 | 89 |
8 | Quan Zhou | China | 251,000 | 84 |
9 | Jean-Noel Thorel | France | 235,000 | 78 |
10 | Boris Kolev | Bulgaria | 233,000 | 78 |
Meanwhile, some new players have already registered to sit down with a fresh stack on Day 2, including Aliaksei Boika and Jon Ander Vallinas, who both fired one bullet on Day 1 without any success. With only one reentry available to the competitors, they will have to make sure to make the most out of their second one.
All players who hop in during late registration on Day 2 will receive the starting stack of 100,000 chips. With blinds recommencing at Level 9:1,500/3,000 with a 3,000 big blind ante, this leaves plenty of room to play with. When late registration closes at the start of Level 11, the starting stack will be worth 20 big blinds, and it will take two more levels before the mystery bounty element comes into play. After that, the tournament will play as many 30-minute levels as needed to play down to a winner.
At the start of Level 13, all remaining players will receive a bounty token. When a player knocks another competitor out of the tournament, they receive their bounty token. The token can then be traded at the mystery bounty desk for an envelope containing an unknown prize. With €5,000 of each buy-in going to the bounty prize pool, these prizes usually range from high four-figure to high five-figure or even low six-figure amounts.

Jakob Miegel raised from under the gun, after which Joao Vieira three-bet jammed his stack of roughly 50,000 chips in the middle from the button.
The action folded back to Miegel, who instantly called to put Vieira at risk.
Joao Vieira: 9♠9♣
Jakob Miegel: 10♠10♦
Miegel had the higher pocket pair, and it would remain the best hand on the 3♦A♥4♦A♠6♦ runout, sending Vieira out as the first casualty of the day.

Franck Makaci opened to 7,000 from the cutoff and Daisuke Ogita called from the button. Daniel Rezaei then made it 24,000 to go from the big blind, receiving a call from only Ogita.
The flop spelled 6♥9♥8♠ and was checked by both players, after which the pair did the same on the 9♣ turn.
The Q♣ river saw Rezaei bet 75,000 chips, leaving only one T-500 chip behind. Ogita pondered his options for a bit before flicking in a calling chip. Rezaei tabled K♠K♦ for two pair, and Ogita's cards hit the muck as the pot was shipped the Austrian's way.

The action folded to the short-stacked Julien Sitbon in the small blind, who limped in. Sirzat Hissou checked in the big blind, and both players knuckled the table on the Q♠6♥3♦ flop.
The 2♦ turn then fell and Sitbon put in a pot-sized bet of 9,000 chips. Hissou did not deem that enough, however, and put all his chips in the middle, covering Sitbon's 30,000-chip stack.
Sitbon thought it over for a while, talking a bit to his opponent in the meantime. Eventually, he made the call for his tournament life.
Julien Sitbon: Q♦8♣
Sirzat Hissou: Q♣7♥
The 5♥ river completed the board and Sitbon's kicker remained in play.
"Slowroll," Alejandro Lococo said jokingly.
"A little bit," Sitbon admitted with a smile on his face while he raked in the pot and doubled up his dire stack.
