At noon local time, 76 players out of 620 entries will return for the final day of Event #27 $580 Monster Mirror Mystery Bounty to battle for their share of the $310,000 prize pool. Everyone has locked up a min-cash of $660 already and each of the payouts will also be available as a Mystery Bounty Prize to conclude the last day of the 2026 Borgata Summer Poker Open at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City.

All four flights of the tournament played down to the money with each survivor securing a shot at the top prize of $27,650 with a lucky spin of the drum, because that is the biggest piece up for grabs to one lucky player.

Alan Nosonchuk was the only one to bag up chips two times and already secured a min-cash for his smaller stack which has been taken out of play. He returns in the middle of the pack with a stack of 448,000.

Leading the way is Shane Brown with a stack of 1,329,000 and he is one of five players in the field to return with a seven-figure stack, followed by Robert Bernstein (1,110,000), Joseph Molitor (1,100,000), Kaifan Wang (1,022,000) and George Grabel (1,004,000).

The recommencing blinds will be 10,000-15,000 with a big blind ante of 15,000 but there are only 14 minutes left in the level before the blinds go up right away. With a level duration of 40 minutes for the entire final day, the action will be fast-paced all the way and for each knockout, the winner gets a spin in the drum for a shot at a seven-figure instant payday.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be on the floor for the conclusion of the Monster Mirror Mystery Bounty Event until a winner has been crowned.
