€150 Friday Mystery 6-Max
The biggest buy-in of the opening two days, this €10,000 guaranteed event saw a turnout of 181 entrants who were all looking to bink the biggest bounty. That went to "Easy2Tilt", who scooped €3,340 for his pull. This prize was more than first-place money, and, even more remarkably, it was his only pull from the virtual bounty chest! "Easy2Tilt" bowed out in 10th place, and secured €3,621.
Despite his 10th place finish, he secured the second-largest share of the prizepool, besting the €3,292 total haul of the winner "HorseOutside". He scored five eliminations on his way to Mystery Bounty glory. Third-place finisher "G0808D" claimed the most bounties, as he knocked out 15 players, which earned him an additional €768 on top of the €1,147.86 in third-place prize money.
"Visionarywave27" finished in 11th place but also claimed a massive bounty haul, and took home the biggest share of the prize pool. He knocked out 14 players, which yielded the biggest total bounty return of €3,451.25. Add that to the €281 they scored for 11th place, and that total then increases to €3,684.97. Below are the full payouts, where only 29 found the money outside of the Mystery Bounty prizepool.

"Jytrocel" dominated the 1,131 runner event and scored a whopping 27 KO's on his way to victory on Friday night. He bagged €3,517.75 for the win, plus €1,276 in bounties.
The big bounty winner of the tournament was 51st place finisher "xaxass", who banked €4,730 for eliminating 15 opponents, which is an incredible result. He was the only player to bag more in bounties than the first-place prize, which goes to show the difference in dynamics and prize pool distribution between PKO's and Mystery Bounties.
