Another edition of 888poker's flagship online poker tournament has crowned its champion, with "Luiz1958" coming out on top in the latest Mystery Bounty Main Event on the platform. The Brazilian put on a final table clinic as they stormed their way to the title.
The victor banked a final payday of $9,714 after claiming the $7,277 winner's payout, which was topped up by $2,437 in bounties. Luiz1958 overcame "TOMA188288" in heads-up play, where the duo agreed on a deal which left a little money to play for along with the bragging rights.
Once again, the $100,000 guarantee was eclipsed, with the 1,084 entries generating a $104,800 prize pool that was dished out between the top 180 players.

"basker2b3" came onto the final table as the shortest stack, and not even an early triple-up was enough to save them from elimination. Luiz1958 opened wide with queen-deuce from the cutoff and four-bet jammed after basker2b3 made a stack committing three-bet with ace-queen. The at risk player was the huge favorite but the eventual champion found running clubs to flush their opponent out of contention.
"digitalbath" was next to go after their all-in was called in three spots, which resulted in him being checked out of the tournament. Soon after, Luiz1958 got their second KO of the final table, besting the ace-six held by "Turbienator" in sixth place with pocket tens.
Luiz1958 completed their hattrick after felting "Gababab26". The chips went in the middle preflop with the former's king-four prevailing over the latter's ace-jack. The run good continued for the on-form player, with their ace-five remaining best against "TTMar", who jammed with king-queen.
But it wasn't all plain sailing for Luiz1958, as they were reduced to crumbs after doubling up TOMA188288 in a preflop cooler. Luiz1958 began to chip up after getting a few shoves through and then was back in the game after finding their own double against "cherrywine".
TOMA188288 picked up jacks to get the last of Cherrywine's stack and entered heads-up with a two-to-one lead. Luiz1958 took the chip lead thanks to another double, and after a few more hands played out, the two remaining players agreed on an ICM deal.
Heads-up was a very even affair until Luiz1958 woke up with jacks and got it in against king-ten. The jacks flopped a set and sealed the victory after remaining best on the turn and river.
