Jeremy Kenter Tops Day 1c in Mystery Bounty 1M GTD
The third flight of Event 8: $1,600 Mystery Bounty $1 Million Guaranteed has now come to an end after ten hours of play here at The Lodge Poker Club in Round Rock, Texas. Day 1c saw 37 registrants hit the registration cage, and when the dust had settled only five advanced from the flight.
Sitting atop the leaderboard by night's end was Jeremy Kenter who bagged an impressive 581,000. Kenter took home the feat of being the Day 1c leader after finishing the night with the elimination of Matthew McDowell. He stacked up early and played with little fear right up until it was time to bag.
Next up on the totem pole is Guilebaldo Flores who filled his bag with 436,000 chips on this flight. Flores was sitting at the top of the food chain for a considerable amount of time during the final table but a late-night surge by Kenter dropped him to second to end the day. The other three to bag include Zachary Hambrice (231,000), Collin Ball (135,000), and Alexander Suprun (99,000).

The five survivors will combine with the rest of the Day 1 runners who advance for Day 2 on Sunday, May 15, at 2 p.m. to battle it out. The second-day players will all be guaranteed at least a min-cash and will have bounties in play, having every knockout earn a bounty chip that can be redeemed for a shot at the $100,000 top prize.
Blinds on Day 2 will bump up to 60-minutes in length and as of now, will begin at 2,500/5,000 with a 5,000 big blind ante. The prize pool, payouts, and seating chart will be posted prior to the start of play and the day will not end until a trophy is given away.
