The first episode of the PokerStars Mystery Cash Challenge aired over the weekend, giving viewers a glimpse into the new and exciting format. Alexandra Botez was the biggest winner on the night after making a superb call in a hand that left Brazilian Fabiano Kovalski as the round's biggest loser.
The Mystery Cash Challenge combines high-stakes cash game action with a mystery bounty element. Six rounds, each seeing ten hands played, make up the Mystery Cash Challenge. The first nine hands are considered qualification hands, and each player must win at least one of those hands to qualify for the all-important tenth hand.
That tenth hand is a "bomb pot" where each qualified player pays a €100 ante, and the winner of the bomb pot hand receives a mystery prize plus a bonus prize.
