The $120,000 Mystery Bounty Opening event, part of the inaugural Mystery Bounty Festival online at 888poker concluded on February 20, with Brazil's "Leofolivieria" coming out on top and capturing a total prize worth $10,811. Some 1,032 players bought into the $109 buy-in tournament, including 888poker ambassador Vivian "Vivi.888." Saliba, who came agonisingly close to becoming a Mystery Bounty Festival champion.
Saliba wasn't the only 888poker ambassador to go deep in an event because Josh "Josh_Manley" Manley finished eighth in the MB Festival #05 - $15,000 Mystery Bounty 8-Max for $540, while Ian "Simpioni" Simpson finished second in a $15,000 MB Festival Mystery Bounty 55 and won a $4,500 MB Festival Mystery Bounty 6-Max 55 tournament on the same night.
