Event #5: $600 Mystery Bounty
Day 1b Completed
Day 1b of Event #5: Mystery Bounty 300K Guaranteed has come to an end after about 8 hours of play. This flight attracted quite a few more entries than Day 1a with 123 and played all the way down to the final 14 players.
Kaleb Dunn of Kansas City, would emerge as the chip leader in a dramatic final hand as he cracked kings and eliminated two players when he hit a set of jacks on the flop to balloon his stack to 481,000. That hand was enough to eclipse the second-place stack of Martin Ostriker with 455,000 who had previously been on a knockout tear to hold the chip lead for the majority of the final levels.

Michal Jozoff was third in chips to end the night with 440,000 as the only other player to have over the 400,000 watermark.
Brandon Lulov had a strong end to the night when he made a hero call to build his stack and finish with 233,000 which is good for sixth place.
Also of note, three women, Krista Farrell (119,000) Sherri Frost (58,000) and Ting Zhou (54,000) were among the fourteen players to advance to Day 2.

Action was picked up on the river as the board read a wet . From the big blind Anthony Russo jammed about 55,000 into a pot of roughly 45,000.
Brandon Lulov was on the button and went into the tank. He mulled it over for about four minutes before eventually spiking the chips for a call.
Russo said "you're good" and showed the for nothing, Lulov tabled the for a rivered pair of nines, which was much to Russo's dismay as he was unhappy with what he was called with. He walked away muttering while Lulov raked in the big pot.
