Day 2 of 888 Poker KO Games Event #19: $162 Mystery Bounty Gets Underway
Day 2 of Event #19: $162 Mystery Bounty at the 888 Poker KO Games kicks off today at 4 p.m. ET with 218 players remaining from a total of 1,322 entries across the Day 1 flights. With a guaranteed prizepool of $200,000, that means there is a very slight overlay with extra value for those who make it into the money. That being said, the last Day 1 flight has yet to conclude, so those numbers will change by the time Day 2 begins.
Currently leading the survivors is "RamboTheDog" of Mexico, sitting on a stack of 241,562. That player managed to put some distance between themself and the rest of the field as their nearest competitor, "Ksy221", returns with 182,432. "SeT4x4" rounds out the top three with 176,950.

The mystery bounty portion of the tournament does now come into play, adding some extra excitement to the proceedings. Everyone will have one eye on the $20,000 top bounty but there are also two $6,000 bounties up for grabs as well as six $2,000 ones. In addition, there is also plenty to be won in the regular prizepool. At the time of writing, the winner will walk away with a handsome $15,480, not bad for a $162 investment.
Blinds resume in Level 18 at 800/1,600 with a 200 ante and will increase every 12 minutes. Play on Day will continue until the final table is set, at which point the remaining players will be on break until tomorrow, December 5th at 2 p.m. ET.
Stay tuned to PokerNews as its live reporting team brings you all the action from Event #19: $162 Mystery Bounty.
Shuffle Up and Deal!
Cards are in the air on Day 2 of Event #19: $162 Mystery Bounty with 313 players returning to the virtual felt.
Prize Pool and Payouts
With all Day 1 flights now concluded, the prize pool and payouts have been confirmed. A total of 1,328 players hopped into the fray, matching the lofty $200,000 guarantee.
The $100,000 regular prize pool will be split amongst the top 144 players, each of whom is guaranteed $250, with $15,480 set aside for the winner.
The remaining $100,000 Mystery Bounty pool will see one lucky individual walk away with at least $20,000, while each player is certain to receive a minimum of $146 for each knockout.
Top Bounty Claimed
Action has only just gotten underway but the top $20,000 bounty is already off the board. "zxcdsaqwe" of Albania is the fortunate individual to claim that prize.
While they have their work going forward cut out for them with a below average stack of 48,000, they have already seen a greater return on their investment than any other player in the tournament is likely to.

"ingeruRO14" Felts "Peter_Martin"
Level 20: 1,250/2,500
"ingeruRO14" opened to 5,250 from under the gun and was called by "Peter_Martin" in the cutoff. The remaining players got out of the way to send action heads up to the flop.
"ingeruRO14" continued for 4,328 on the Q♥3♥4♣ flop and was called.
The 10♣ turn saw "ingeruRO14" continue their aggression with a bet of 18,918. Again, "Peter_Martin" called.
"ingeruRO14" applied maximum pressure on the board pairing Q♣ river by moving all in. "Peter_Martin", the effective stack, had less than pot behind and quickly called holding J♦J♣. It was no good, however, as "ingeruRO14" held 7♣6♣ for the runner-runner flush to secure the pot and knockout, which came with a minimum bounty.

Hand-for-Hand Play Begins
With 146 players remaining and 144 getting paid, the hand-for-hand portion of the tournament has begun.
"YguTj" Bubbles Event #19: $162 Mystery Bounty
Level 22: 1,750/3,500
"oowmygodness" opened to 7,000 from middle position and "YguTj" committed their last 168 to the pot on the button. Both "aanatt" in the small blind and "guitiradent1" in the big blind called to leave "YguTj" on the brink.
Action checked through the 9♠Q♦10♣ flop to the 2♥ turn at which point "aanatt" checked for a second time. "guitiradent1" fired off 6,142 and was called by "oowmygodness". "aanatt" responded by moving all in for 21,251, forcing "guitiradent1" out of the hand. "oowmygodness", meanwhile, made the call to put both of their opponents at risk.
"YguTj": A♣J♥
"aanatt": A♠A♥
"oowmygodness": J♦J♠
"aanatt" was ahead with the overpair but both "YguTj" and "oowmygodness" had straight draws. The river bricked out 6♣, however, to send "YguTj" out on the stone bubble while handing a healthy pot to "aanatt".
