While much of the focus here at the Les A Casino is on Wai Kiat Lee and Jamil Wakil battling for the $40k Mystery Bounty title, Day 1 of the $50k NLH 8-Handed has been playing elsewhere in the room with 95 entries building a near-$5m prize pool.

With late reg open until Level 10, and with 61 players remaining at the moment, that number could well still grow before the clock ticks over, when we'll bring you full information about the size of the field, payout info, and the bags at close tonight.
