The top bounty of $50,000 was pulled just 15 minutes into the start of Day 2 by “Inflaatio” from Finland. Fourteenth-place finisher “LookAround” pulled a $15,000 bounty late in the day but there is still one five-figure bounty left and two $5,000 bounties left to be pulled. The final table players will need to take a ton into consideration when they juggle bounties and ICM implications.
The final table will be streamed on a one-hour delay starting Tuesday, October 3rd at 4:00 p.m. EST. All the players that still remain have locked up at least an eighth-place cash of $4,300 but they will obviously be vying for the first-place prize of $34,525. Who will win it all?
