Ukraine's "6eJlbluZ" won the $109 Mystery Bounty Main Event at 888, PokerNews reported. The player began the final table sixth in chips and earned $6,125 for the title in a field of 558 entries, with a prize pool of $55,800.

The biggest payout went elsewhere. Romania's "neverback" finished fourth and collected $9,137, including $7,271 from mystery bounty envelopes.

Canada's "Eman604" started the final table shortest, with only seven big blinds, and lost with suited ace-deuce to the pocket eights of "6eJlbluZ". On the next hand, chip leader "M.Flush.N" called the all-in of "__APO__1", who held a pair of fives against pocket aces. Six players remained.

"M.Flush.N" reached almost 150 big blinds, three times anyone else's stack, after eliminating the fifth-place finisher. Then "neverback" went out with ace-queen against king-five of hearts. Ireland's "corkirl5555" lost with pocket kings to the eight-five of diamonds held by "6eJlbluZ", who made a straight on the turn and a flush on the river.

Heads-up lasted about 90 minutes. "6eJlbluZ" started with roughly half the chips of the opponent but held a four-to-one lead by the last hand. Holding nine-six, they made a river straight against the queen-nine of "M.Flush.N", who called the all-in. The runner-up received $4,438.
