Niveau 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Le Mystery Bounty de 3 000 €, organisé dans le cadre du 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour présenté par Monte-Carlo Casino®️, vient de s'achever. Après trois jours d'action, un champion tricolore a été couronné.

Le Français Jeremie Zouari est sorti vainqueur et a décroché un magnifique chèque de 194 310 € qui, avec 8 000 € de primes, représente un total de 202 310 € de gains.

Zouari a surmonté un field de 678 participants et a finalement battu le Belge Anton Kraous en heads-up pour remporter le trophée en plus d'obtenir le meilleur score de sa carrière.

Les deux joueurs ont conclu un heads-up basé sur le nombre de jetons et ont laissé 15 000 € en jeu. Après quelques minutes de jeu en heads-up, Zouari a réalisé une couleur contre les trips de Kraous pour remporter la bataille.

Kraous a gagné 170 187 € pour sa deuxième place, soit 184 187 € en incluant les bounties. Antoine Labat a terminé troisième pour 100 050 € et a reçu 38 000 € de primes pour un total de 138 050 €.

Le gros lot pour Aurelien Russo

Outre ceux qui ont atteint la table finale, de nombreux autres joueurs ont décroché des gains importants grâce aux bounties en jeu.

En particulier, Aurelien Russo a trouvé l'enveloppe à 100 000 € lors du Day 2, qui valait presque autant que le total de ses gains accumulés sur le circuit live. Sam Greenwood a ensuite tiré la deuxième enveloppe et dernier bounty de 100 000 € en jeu.

Parmi les autres gagnants, citons Aliaksei Boika et Ehsan Amiri, qui ont tous deux remporté les seconds prix de 40 000 €, ainsi que d'autres bounties plus modestes pour augmenter leur total.

Andrea Crobu, qui a terminé à la sixième place, a touché l'un des bounty de 25 000 € ainsi que deux primes de 1 000 € pour ajouter 27 000 € à son total, ce qui signifie que son gain de 72 550 € est supérieur à ce qu'a gagné Jon Ander Vallinas, qui a terminé à la cinquième place.

Au moment où l'action a atteint la table finale, il ne restait plus que des tickets à 1 000 € dans la boîte et le tournoi a donc pris un format plus standard, les joueurs jouant plus pour grimper ans le payout pour obtenir le maximum de gains plutôt que de bust leurs adversaires.

Bustouts rapides et l'ascension de Zouari

La journée a commencé avec 15 joueurs revenant au combat. Les bustouts se sont multipliés, avec Florian Montes, Soraya Estrada, Bruno Lopes, Nicolas Julien et Mario Navarro ont tous été éliminés dans les premières heures.

En table finale, Fabio Peluso a été le premier à partir, suivi par Igor Yaroshevskyy, qui a été éliminé par Zouari. Aliaksei Boika a suivi, et peu de temps après, Zouari a réalisé une quinte flush pour éliminer le chip leader du Day 2, Andrea Crobu, et prendre la tête des jetons.

Kraous lui a repris le chiplead après avoir éliminé Ignacio Sole Aparicio. Cependant, dans un pot déterminant pour la suite des événements, Zouari a réalisé un full contre Kraous. Peu après, Kraous a sorti Labat pour arriver au heads-up final.

Un deal a été conclu pour ne laisser que 15 000 € en jeu et le heads-up a commencé. Après quelques rebondissements, Kraous a doublé pour égaliser, jusqu'à ce que Zouari réalise une couleur contre le brelan de Kraous pour sceller la victoire et remporter le match.

Anton Kraous Eliminated in 2nd Place (€170,187)

Mwarburton

Niveau 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Anton Kraous limped the button and Jeremie Zouari raised to 1,200,000. Kraous called.

The flop came 4♥5♥7♦ and both players checked. The turn was the 7♥ and Zouari continued for 600,000. Kraous made the call.

The river came the 10♣. Zouari checked, Kraous bet 2,000,000 and Zouari moved all in. Kraous made the call and players flipped their cards.

Kraous had J♦7♣ for trip sevens and Zouari showed K♥3♥ for a flush. Zouari had Kraous covered and so, just minutes after heads-up started, he had taken down the tournament.

Kraous was eliminated in 2nd place for €170,187. He'd also pulled €14,000 in bounties to make for a total of €184,187.

Antoine Labat Eliminated in 3rd Place (€100,050)

Calum_Grant

Niveau 35 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Anton Kraous raised from the button and called when Antoine Labat moved all in for 2,575,000 from the small blind.

Antoine Labat: A♠J♦
Anton Kraous: A♦4♣

Labat was in great shape to double up and paired up on the J♣5♣6♠ flop to remain the favorite. However, the 3♣ turn and Q♣ river gave Kraous a flush to bring the tournament to heads-up play.

Labat also found success in the mystery bounty chest. He has collected €38,000 in bounties over the three days, with a majority coming from the €25,000 envelope he pulled yesterday.

The two final players are taking a short break before play begins.

Niveau 34 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Anton Kraous opened to 775,000 from the small blind and snap-called when Ignacio Sole Aparicio jammed for 2,700,000 from the big blind.

Ignacio Sole Aparicio: K♥7♣
Anton Kraous: A♣K♠

There would be no "domination rotation" as Kraous held out to secure the bust out following the 6♥4♦3♦J♦A♠ runout.

Andrea Crobu Eliminated in 6th place (€45,550)

Mwarburton

Niveau 33 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Anton Kraous raised to 450,000 from under the gun. Action folded to Jeremie Zouari, who called on the button. Andrea Crobu called in the big blind and three players went to the flop.

The flop came 10♥9♠J♦ and players checked to Zouari, who bet out for 200,000. Crobu called and Kraous folded.

The turn was the 3♦ and both players checked. The river came the A♥, Crobu checked and Kraous moved all in for the rest of Crobu's stack, around 1,275,000 effective.

Crobu went into the tank. "Ace-jack?" he asked, before shaking his head. Time passed by in silence as Crobu contemplated his decision. Eventually, he made the call.

Zouari showed his hand first, K♠Q♥. Crobu attempted to muck and the dealer flipped his hand, K♥10♦ for a pair of tens.

Crobu hadn't believed Zouari, but Zouari's bet had been a genuine one. He had flopped the nuts and made the top straight on the river. After winning the hand, he chipped up to give himself a chip lead of more than 2-1 on second place.

Crobu was eliminated in 6th place for €45,550. He had also pulled a €25,000 bounty and two €1,000 bounties to bring his total winnings for the event to €72,550.

Aliaksei Boika Eliminated in 7th place (€35,050)

Mwarburton

Niveau 32 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Aliaksei Boika raised to 400,000 from under the gun, which was around half of his stack. Jon Ander Vallinas moved all in and action folded back around to Boika, who made the call with the shorter stack.

Aliaksei Boika: Q♣J♠
Jon Ander Vallinas: K♥Q♦

Vallinas had Boika dominated with his king queen. The board ran out 6♥3♥6♠A♥7♠. Neither player improved and so Vallinas held up with his king high.

Boika was eliminated in 7th place for €35,050. He had also pulled €53,000 in bounties to give him a grand total of €88,050 in winnings.

Igor Yaroshevskyy Eliminated in 8th Place (€20,700)

Mwarburton

Niveau 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Igor Yaroshevskyy min-raised to 200,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Jeremie Zouari, who three-bet to 525,000. Yaroshevskyy moved all in and Labat quickly called, with Yaroshevskyy at risk.

Igor Yaroshevskyy: Q♦Q♥
Jeremie Zouari: A♥K♣

It was exactly the kind of race to be expected at this point in the tournament. Yaroshevskyy had pocket queens and Zouari had ace-king.

The board ran out 3♦9♣Q♣10♥J♦.

The queen on the flop gave Yaroshevskyy a set and Zouari was drawing very thin. The turn brought him a few more outs and the J♦ river completed Zouari's straight.

Gasps sounded out from around the table. Yaroshevskyy got up to leave. Boika got up to console him. Zouari scooped his chips, which now totalled 4,700,000.

"He doesn't need the money, that's the problem." said Antoine Labat. "When you don't need the money it's easy!"

Yaroshevskyy was eliminated in eighth place for €20,700 (€31,950 including bounties).

Fabio Peluso moved all in for 560,000 from the button and Antoine Labat called from the big blind.

Fabio Peluso: 10♣9♦
Antoine Labat: Q♣9♠

Peluso was dominated and couldn't find his three-outer or chop the pot after the J♥3♣J♠9♥5♥ runout. He collected €20,700 from the prize pool and a further €10,000 in bounties.

Mario Navarro Eliminated in 11th Place (€16,000)

Mwarburton

Niveau 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action folded to Mario Navarro, who raised from the button. Anton Kraous called in the big blind.

The flop came 3♥8♦2♣. Kraous checked and Navarro made the continuation bet, which Kraous called. The turn came the 7♠ and Kraous checked again. Navarro made it 250,000 and Kraous called.

The river came the 2♥. Kraous checked a third time and Navarro moved all in for 770,000. Kraous didn't tank too long before making the call.

The floor told players to keep their cards face down. Navarro was already stood up and gathering his belongings, aware of what was to come.

When cards were revealed, Navarro flipped over J♥10♣. He'd been running a triple barrel bluff. Kraous showed K♥3♦ for a pair of threes. He'd called all three streets with the best hand, picking off the bluff to send Navarro to the rail.

Players congratulated Kraous for his excellent call. Navarro was eliminated in 11th place for €16,000.

Nicolas Julien Eliminated in 12th Place (€13,350)

Calum_Grant

Niveau 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Nicolas Julien opened to 494,000 from the hijack, leaving just 150,000 behind. Ignacio Sole Aparicio called from the button and the blinds folded.

"Can you fold flop?" asked Aparicio. "Depends on the flop," replied Julien.

With the pay jump at 11 remaining, Nicolas Julien went into the tank on the J♣10♥9♠ flop. He eventually checked and his opponent put him all in.

After some moments passed, the tournament director then instructed Julien that he had 30 seconds to make a decision.

Julien called off his stack, and the cards were tabled.

Nicolas Julien: 4♦4♥
Ignacio Sole Aparicio: A♥J♥

The K♣2♣ runout saw Aparicio's pair of jacks remain best and Julien was eliminated.

"If anyone leaves an insignificant amount of chips behind, they will have 30 seconds to act," relayed the floor to the two remaining tables.
