Final Flight of Event #4 Mystery Bounty Day 1k Turbo Kicks off at 11:00 a.m.!
The 2024 Winter Poker Open at Champions Club Texas in Houston continues today with the final flight of Event #4: $400- $300,000 GTD Mystery Bounty!
Day 1k of the $400 buy-in event starts at 11:00 am local time and will be a turbo flight featuring 15-minute levels. Players will have unlimited re-entries and registration will be open until the start of Level 9 at approximately 1:10 p.m. It is also worth mentioning that it is the best bag forward, meaning that if a player has bagged already, they can re-enter in another flight to try and get a better stack and will also receive a $1,000 bag bonus for each additional bag.
Yesterday’s Day 1f was topped by Sanjeev Vora who put 622,000 into a bag, which means it is still Derek Normand who holds the top stack as he bagged the chip lead in Day 1e with 691,000.
After the two flights yesterday, there have been a total of 1,220 entrants into thi event, which means the $300,000 guaranteed prizepool has already been blown out of the water.
As with the previous flights, players will start with 30,000 chips, and play continues until just 12% of the field remains, with those players in the money and advancing to Day 2, at which point the bounties will come into play.
The two-day event culminates with a live-streamed final table on Monday, February 12th once all survivors from the eleven opening flights have been thinned to nine remaining contenders. Those opening flight returnees will come back to the Champions Club poker room at noon on Monday to continue their chase for a big payday and to pull some big bounties!
Make sure to stay tuned for the next few days as PokerNews will have you covered for this event until a champion is crowned on Monday, so stay with us for all the action!

Rivas Traps Ellerman
Level 3
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Gary Ellerman opened from under-the-gun to 1,600 and then Nicholas Rivas three-bet to 3,600. The action folded back to Ellerman who called and the two went to a flop of 5♥A♣K♠.
Both players checked and saw the turn come out the 6♥, at which point Ellerman led out for 8,000 and Rivas responded by moving all in.
"Ahh, you trapped me!" Ellerman laughed as he tossed in his cards.
"Oh, you REALLY trapped me," he said as Rivas showed him A♥K♦ for top two pair and raked in the pot.

Brutal Runout for Shingala
Level 4
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
On a heads-up flop of A♣9♦5♣, all of the chips got into the middle between Longyi Wen and Vivek Shingala, with Wen covering.
Vivek Shingala: A♦9♥
Longyi Wen: A♠K♥
Shingala held a big lead with his flopped two pair, but the runout was not his friend as it came A♥K♣ to give Wen a full house on the river, eliminating Shingala in brutal fashion.
