Solving the Mystery Cash Challenge
At first glance, Mystery Cash Challenge appears to be a typical no-limit hold’em cash game, but there are significant twists that set it apart from the ordinary. The game starts with a pre-flop pot limit of €25/€50 and transitions to a no-limit structure post-flop, which is the same format as the popular show The big game used to follow. Simply put, players can bet an amount up to the current pot size before the flop, but once the flop is dealt, it’s a no-limits showdown.
The game spans six rounds, each consisting of 10 hands. The first nine hands serve as the qualifying phase. To qualify for the tenth and final hand of the round – the so-called Bomb Pot – players must emerge victorious in at least one of these nine pots.
In the Bomb Pot, the player who has won the most pots beforehand receives the coveted button. In the event of a tie, the player who last won a pot receives the button.
But that’s not all; There’s an exciting bonus prize in the mix that will make every hand and every pot count.
