Sandu Dumitru wins Havana Mystery Bounty Main Event (€30,860)
Sandu Dumitru wins the €330 Havana Mystery Bounty Main Event, which attracted 1,532 entrants to the Circus Casino Resort in Namur. This was the Dutchman's first success on the poker circuit, on a day marked by a power cut in the Resort area, which interrupted play for almost an hour.
Chipleader at the start of Day 3, which began with 38 survivors and was played over 50-minute levels, Dumitru dominated until the last two tables. He was overtaken by Simon Delhuille before managing to squeeze into a 3-way deal.
THE FINAL DAY HAVANA MAIN EVENT MYSTERY BOUNTY REPORT
Slightly ahead at the time of the deal, Namur serial raiser Djamal Boutaleb lost out in heads-up play on a bluff attempt. These two players will meet again at the end of 2023 in Namur for the year-end Circus Poker Series, as they pocketed a bonus ticket.
With its Mystery Bounty format, the last 223 players in the running shared a prize pool of almost €120,000 in random bonuses. Two players cashed in directly for €25,000!
We look forward to seeing you at the WaSOP at the end of July. Before that, don't hesitate to come and discover the new tournament on the grid, a €133 Circus Ante, on Thursday June 29 from 7pm...
