Germany's "tamtrigiac" came back from being fifth in chips at the start of the $100,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event final table to become the latest 888poker player to be crowned this event's champion. In fact, it was a German one-two this week, with "Seko1917" finishing as the runner-up. Between the two Deutschland-based grinders, they took home $16,487 of the $100,000 prize pool.
Including re-entries, 945 players bought in for $109, leaving 888poker to make up the guarantee's shortfall. Twice as many players are required for the October 26 edition of the $100,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event because its buy-in is being halved to $55 during the 888poker Sale Week.
