Kazakh competitor, Adestor, secures 4th position in Bounty Builder Series tournament
The 2018 PokerStars Bounty Builder Series saw a significant moment with Kazakh player "Adestor" finishing fourth in Tournament No.92. The tournament, which had a buy-in of $109, attracted over 2,000 entries, resulting in a prize pool of $222,000.
The 6-max hyper-turbo format tournament saw "Adestor" make multiple entries and eventually finish in the top 4. Their efforts earned them a prize of $5,800, along with an additional $1,579 in bounties. However, the most impressive performance from "Adestor" in the series was yet to come.
In another tournament, "Artyto" finished second, pocketing a prize of $68,000. It's worth noting that three other Kazakh players also reached the final tables of different tournaments during the series.
The Bounty Builder Series, currently underway on PokerStars, boasts a total guarantee of $20,000,000. The Main Event of the series has a guarantee of $2,000,000.
While specific results for other notable Bounty Builder Series tournaments from 2018 are not easily accessible, recent poker series results provide some insight into winners and notable finishes in other events. For instance, in a ₹25 Lakhs GTD tournament on PokerBaazi, Aman 'KarmaPoker' Parakh and Anmol 'airball' Narang finished first and second respectively, with prize winnings in the range of ₹6.5 to ₹6.1 lakhs.
The PokerStars WCOOP Boot Camp 2025, a preparatory series for the main WCOOP events, featured large prize pools ($14.7M total) with several players winning WCOOP Gold and Silver Passes.
Despite the lack of direct references to the Bounty Builder Series or "Adestor"'s 2018 finishes in the supplied excerpts, dedicated historical results databases like Hendon Mob or PokerStars archives would be needed for more detailed 2018 Bounty Builder Series results.
In a casino-and-gambling setting, I'm playing poker, mainly focused on casino-games like the Bounty Builder Series. Historically, "Adestor" made a significant impact in the Bounty Builder Series, not only finishing fourth in a tournament with a prize of $5,800 and $1,579 in bounties, but also displaying a remarkable performance in another tournament where they almost reached the top.
