The 2026 Onyx High Roller Series continues today inside the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa, where the $10,400 Mystery Bounty returns for its final day. After a field of 114 entries surpassed the $1,000,000 guarantee, just 17 players remain in contention for the title and the mystery bounty prizes waiting to be claimed.
Leading the charge is Bulgaria's Boris Kolev, who returns with a commanding stack of 1,700,000, worth 57 big blinds when the cards are back in the air. Kolev holds a healthy advantage over Show77, who sits second with 1,145,000, while fellow Bulgarian Fahredin Mustafov rounds out the top three with 1,115,000.

There are plenty of players still standing behind the chip leaders. Armin Rezaei returns fourth in chips with 935,000 after enjoying a strong end to Day 1, including bursting the money bubble when his pair of aces versus Orhan Ates pair of queens. Aram Sargsyan (805,000), Adi Alkalay (800,000), and Igor Yaroshevskyy (615,000) are also among those looking to make their way toward the final table.
With the bubble bursting late on Day 1, every player returning today is already in the money and, more importantly, the mystery bounties are now in play. From this point forward, every elimination will give players the opportunity to claim one of the mystery prizes, adding another layer of excitement as the field is whittled down.
The full payouts and mystery bounty prize breakdown are yet to be confirmed and will be announced shortly. Once the numbers are revealed, the remaining players will know exactly what they are battling for alongside the title, with some potentially huge bounty prizes waiting to be uncovered.
The action resumes at 1 p.m. local time in Level 16, with blinds of 10,000/25,000 and a 25,000 big blind ante. From there, the remaining 17 players will battle their way toward the final table before ultimately playing down to a champion.
