The PokerStars European Poker Tour (ESPT) at Casino Barcelona continues today with Day 3 of the €3,000 EPT Mystery Bounty. Yesterday’s Day 2 commenced with 461 players taking their seats, ready to compete. After 10 hours of play, only 22 players will be returning for Day 3 this afternoon.

Coming into Day 3 with the chip lead is Ismet Oral who managed to bag 4,750,000 by the end of Level 27 last night. Oral remains nearly 2,000,000 chips in front of his nearest competitors 2023 EPT Paris Main Event Champion Razvan Belea and Sven Stok who managed to amass 2,920,000 and 2,700,000 respectively.

Top 10 Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chip Count	Big Blinds
1	Ismet Oral	Turkey	4,750,000	59
2	Razvan Belea	Romania	2,920,000	37
3	Sven Stok	Netherlands	2,700,000	34
4	Marcos Kenne	Brazil	2,635,000	33

9	Ricardo De Andrade	Portugal	1,825,000	23
10	Mikel Unanue	Mexico	1,760,000	22

The remaining players have already locked up an impressive cash of €11,740, alongside any mystery bounties they may have already collected along the way. But with the two €200,000 bounties having been already claimed by Jan Bronkhorst and Samy Boujmala yesterday, the focus of the tournament has certainly shifted to the first-place prize of €374,064.

Each remaining bounty is still worth a minimum of €1,000, with the largest remaining prize of €5,000 also still in circulation.

Day 3 commences today at 12 p.m. local time. The structure will recommence on Level 28 with blinds at 30,000/60,000 with an 80,000 big blind ante.

Stay tuned with the PokerNews live reporting team as we bring coverage of the Europen Poker Tour Mystery Bounty here at EPT Barcelona as we play down to a winner.
