While the PLO tournament did not start due to a lack of players, the €100 + 100 + 30 Mystery Bounty was very popular. Players started with 25,000 chips and 20-minute levels while hunting for bounties. A total of 94 players and 27 re-entries were recorded, which put €24,200 in the pot. Half was paid out as Mystery Bounties, and the other half was distributed among the top 17 places. €2,800 awaited the winner.
At the Final Table, there were some familiar faces and CAPT regulars. In the end, it was Josef Orlitsch, who had to concede in the heads-up and walked away with 2nd place and €1,990, while Weijang Hu celebrated the victory and €2,890.Today features a big darts tournament with tournament tickets up for grabs. At 3 PM, the €500 + 50 Main Event (100k/30′) will kick off with the first flight, followed by Day 1B and the Turbo Flight (20′). Each heat will get to the money, with the final, featuring 40-minute levels, taking place on Sunday.
