After 13 levels of play, Day 3 of the €3,000 Mystery Bounty at PokerStars European Poker Tour Paris concluded with Humberto Lopes Galindo crowned champion. Galindo despatched Fouad Baali in heads-up play to capture the title, trophy, and the €243,656 designated for the winner. As well as claiming the lion's share from the regular prize pool, Galindo claimed an additional €15,000 in mystery bounty prizes for a final score of €258,656.

The tournament was heavily attended, recording 787 entries. Those players generated a total prize purse of €2,115,456, split into prize pools. The regular prize pool contained €1,328,456, while the rest was tucked away inside the mystery bounty envelopes.

The biggest mystery bounty prizes were €75,000 and €35,000, of which there were two each. Danut Chisu was the first player to pull the big one, which he did on Day 2. Aleksandar Tomovic and Conor Bergin each pulled the €35,000 prize. The final big bounty went to Joachim Haraldstad, who claimed the delightful payday late on Day 3.

Day 3 Recap

Lex Veldhuis
Lex Veldhuis

Twenty-two players returned for Day 3 and the action was fast and furious from the get-go, with nine players eliminated in the first three levels of the day. PokerStars Ambassador Lex Veldhuis was just one player to hit the rail in the early stages. Sunho Yoo and Pascal Heinrichs had Broadway, while Veldhuis had a pair of aces. Yoo and Heinrichs split his bounty chip and shared the €1,000 prize Vedhuis' bounty yielded.

His two eliminators would soon follow him out the door along with the start-of-day chip leader Martin Stausholm and Georgi Sandev. More players then headed to the wrong side of the rail to bring about the final table.

Ireland's Christopher Dowling looked like he would make his third final table of EPT Paris after achieving the feat in the €1,100 FPS Main Event and a Pot-Limit Omaha side event. However, his pocket sevens were bested by the king-queen of Natan Chauskin to leave him short. He was all-in the next hand but was flushed away by Gerard Rubiralta.

The final table then kicked off with a double bust-out. Galindo's pocket queens held out against the pair of nines held by Fabian Niederreiter and the ace-king of Jan Bednar, who finished in ninth and eighth place, respectively.

Rubiralta, the runaway chip leader for much of the day, then doubled up the likes of Jonathan Proudfoot and Galindo to reduce his advantage when the players returned from the second break of the day.

Shortly after, Chauskin was eliminated in 7th place after losing a massive flip to Haraldstan, which netted the latter the chip lead. Chauskin's pocket tens were ahead against the Norwegian's ace-king until a king appeared on the river.

Thirty minutes later, Galindo and Proudfoot were all in from the blinds, with the latter at risk of elimination. Proudfoot's dominated ace could not improve against Galindo's ace-jack. He collected €49,300 for his sixth-place finish, and a further €17,000 in bounties for his biggest-ever live tournament cash.

Or Suliman then became the big stack after he felted Haraldstad. The former had pocket kings and was up against ace-queen. The pocket pair remained best on the runout. However, Suliman's time at the top of the chip counts was soon over as Rubiralta flopped two pair against his ace-king.

With Martin Kabrhel sitting on the sidelines holding eight bounty chips, Haraldstad returned to the room to redeem the six bounty tokens he was holding. The first four envelopes were all of the €1,000 variety, but the fifth envelope was the big prize of €75,000. Haraldstad and his friend burst into excitement while Kabrhel wondered if he made the right choice by waiting to draw.

The chip lead would then hop back and forth between Galindo and Rubiralta before the elimination of Suliman. Rubiralta once reached the peak of the chip counts after his king-queen out-flopped the Israeli's ace-seven. However, the Spaniard then found himself next out of the door after losing a 17.1 million chip pot to Galindo. Baali then finished him off.

The Frenchman was inactive for large parts of the day and managed to ladder up without doing too much. He found premium hands at the right time. On the second hand of heads-up play, he doubled into the lead with king-jack.

However, Galindo soon regained the chip lead after grinding Baali down and on the final hand of the night, Baali jammed with deuces and was called by king-ten. Galindo paired up on the flop and held to see out the victory.

Gerard Rubiralta was down to just 1,500,000 after the previous hand and pushed all in on the button. Fouad Baali shoved all in from the small blind and the cards were face up.

Gerard Rubiralta: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}
Fouad Baali: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Baali solidified his lead with the pocket jacks. The {6-Clubs} on the turn gave Rubiralta some extra outs but the {k-Diamonds} on the river was not one of them.

Humberto Lopes Galindo, who started the hand with 8,150,000, opened to 800,000 from the button. Gerard Rubiralta then jammed as the big stack from the small blind. Fouad Baali quickly folded from the big blind and Galindo called.

Humberto Lopes Galindo: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Gerard Rubiralta: {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} flop took away some of Rubiralta's outs and the {5-Spades} turn left him drawing dead. The {q-Diamonds} completed the board and Galindo became the massive chip leader.

The action folded to Gerard Rubiralta in the small blind who shipped all in. Or Suliman was in the big blind with a stack of just over 3,000,000 and quickly called.

Or Suliman: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Gerard Rubiralta: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The flop came {k-Spades}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Rubiralta took the lead by hitting a king on the flop. The {j-Spades} on the turn gave Suliman some more outs with a flush draw but the {2-Diamonds} on the river was a complete brick. Suliman exited in fourth place.

With only three players remaining, the levels will be cut to 20 minutes.

Gerard Rubiralta opened to 400,000 on the button and Or Suliman three-bet to 1,250,000 in the small blind. Rubiralta responded with a four-bet to 2,100,000 which sent Suliman into the tank for a couple of minutes before just calling.

The flop fell {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Suliman instantly ripped all in. Rubiralta looked back at his cards and then called off his stack of 3,550,000 which created a massive pot.

Gerard Rubiralta: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Or Suliman: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Rubiralta out-flopped Suliman with two pair in the pot of the tournament. The {7-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing and the {a-Spades} on the river gave Rubiralta a huge chip lead with four players remaining.

Joachim Haraldstan raised to 400,000 first to act before Or Suliman made it 1,250,000 from the big blind. Haraldstan paused for a few moments before jamming for 4,000,000. Suliman had him covered and called.

Joachim Haraldstan: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Or Suliiman: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Suliman was ahead with his pocket kings, but Haraldstan had a host of outs with his flush draw following the {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop. The {j-Spades} turn kept Suliman ahead and the {3-Diamonds} river gave him the checkmark as well as the elimination.

Jonathan Proudfoot: {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Humberto Lopes Galindo: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades} was of no help to the dominated Proudfoot and neither was the {q-Spades} turn or {9-Spades} river. Galindo collected the pot and claimed Proudfoot's bounty chip.

Joachim Haraldstad opened to 300,000 under the gun and Natan Chauskin shoved all in for around 2,500,000 in the small blind. The big blind folded and Haraldstad instantly called to put Chauskin at risk.

Natan Chauskin: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Joachim Haraldstad: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip for one of the biggest pots in the tournament and the flop of {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} left Chauskin in the lead with his pair of tens. The {2-Diamonds} on the turn was also safe but the {k-Hearts} on the river was exactly what Haraldstad was looking for. The stacks were counted and Haraldstad indeed had the larger of the two, sending Chauskin to the payout desk.

Fabian Niederreiter: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Jan Bednar: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Humberto Lopes Galindo: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Galindo's queens were still in the lead. The {5-Hearts} and {10-Clubs} runout changed nothing and Galindo scored a double knockout. Bednar had Niederreiter covered by a mere 10,000 chips to earn the extra pay jump.
