The $40,000 NLH Mystery Bounty at Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Jeju II is down to 33 players after Day 1, with Kayhan Mokri setting the pace heading into Thursday's finale.
The event drew 133 entries, generating a $2,660,000 prize pool, with 23 players set to make the money. $619,000 awaits the eventual champion, while a min-cash is worth $31,000.
Mokri bagged the chip lead with 1,700,000, but has little room for error at the top. Alex Anton sits just behind on 1,680,000, with Jamil Wakil completing the top three on 1,645,000.
There are plenty of familiar names still in the mix, including Phil Ivey, who returns with 675,000. Punnat Punsri, Christoph Vogelsang, Artur Martirosian, Seth Davies, Jesse Lonis and Ren Lin also survived the opening day.
Day 2 is when the mystery bounties come into play, and will play all the way down to a winner.
