Day 1E Rolls Past Halfway Point in Mystery Bounty 1M GTD
The first four flights have now come and gone in Event #8: $1,600 Mystery Bounty 1 Million Guaranteed here at The Lodge Poker Club in Round Rock, Texas. There have been a total of 121 entries thus far, with the upcoming weekend expected to haul in the largest portion of registrants to hit that monster guarantee.
Matthew Mayer is on top of the field after bagging 581,500 in the Day 1a flight, and will be the stack all are looking to surpass headed forward. Nipping at his heels is Jeremy Kenter who advanced from the third flight, having 581,000 to start Day 2.
All registrants will sit down to 40,000 in chips for the first day and will play down until just 12% of the field is left standing. There will be unlimited re-entries until the start of Level 7 for anyone who takes an unlucky exit or wants to jump in for the first time. Blinds will begin at 100/200 with 40-minutes to play each level.
All survivors of the Day 1 flights will return on Sunday, May 15, to battle it out for a shot at the title. Anyone who bags more than once will get a bounty chip for each extra bag, playing their highest-valued stack moving forward. Each bounty can be redeemed on the second day for an envelope that contains a prize that ranges from $1,000 all the way up to the $100,000 first-place prize.
