The PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague welcomes you to third and final day of the €3,000 Mystery Bounty, which gets underway inside the wonderful Hilton Prague at 12 p.m. CET.
Just 18 of the 776 entries remain in contention for the title and lion's share of the €1,331,616 tournament prize pool.
The remaining players have already locked up €9,490 as well as any bounties they have claimed but of course, all eyes will be on the €243,186 first-place prize.
The tournament also generated a bounty prize pool of €776,000 to bring the overall total to €2,107,616.
From the bounty prize pool, two envelopes contained a cash prize of €100,000, and high roller regular Orpen Kisacikoglu was the first player to be awarded the six-figure sum.
Poland's Pawel Krol, who is still in the event, also pocketed the top mystery bounty prize.
A majority of the big bounty prizes have already been dished out, however, one €10,000 prize remains with the remainder divided up between the €5,000, €2,000, and €1,000 payouts.

In pole position to start the day is France's Mathieu Di Meglio, who bagged a massive 3,125,000 chip stack from his fruitful Day 2 session. He was the only play to finish with more than three million and has a significant lead on Nils Pudel (2,390,000) and Nenad Dukic (2,265,000) who round out the top three chip counts.
World Champion paintballer and two-time WSOP bracelet winner Juha Helppi (400,000) starts the day at the bottom of the pile.
At one stage on Day 2, he had almost one million in his stack, but after being on the wrong side of a boat-over-boat situation against Gregoire Auzoux (1,335,000) he had to nurse his short stack and pick his spots wisely to keep his tournament hopes alive.
Despite starting Day 3 in last place on the chip leaderboard, it would be foolish to rule out Helppi's chances.
The Finnish poker player has an impressive seven EPT titles to his name, with his last coming in 2016. And with $8,050,790 in live tournament earnings under his belt, he is without a doubt the most experienced player remaining and is no newcomer to these high-pressure situations.
As mentioned, play will resume at 12 p.m. CET and when the players return to the felt, they will be on Level 27 which features a small blind of 20,000, a big blind of 40,000 and a big blind ante of 40,000.
