Event #1: $2,500 WSOP Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty
Day 2 Completed
Just 18 players remain after Day 2 of Event #1: $2,500 WSOP Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty at World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise. Leading the way is Germany's Christopher Nguyen, who held the chip lead and hung onto it despite a four-way all-in cooler late in the evening that saw his aces cracked.
Also in the top 19 are Johnny Bromberg, Yi Li, Tomas Jozonis, Eun Sommatino, Yayun Liu, Anthony Guidice, Matthew McEwan, Mark Darner and Bogdan Jontulovic.
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Christopher Nguyen | Germany | 12,505,000 |
| 2 | Johnny Bromberg | United States | 9,400,000 |
| 3 | Yi Li | United States | 8,680,000 |
| 4 | Tomas Jozonis | Lithuania | 8,560,000 |
| 5 | Eun Sommatino | United States | 8,545,000 |
| 6 | Yayun Liu | United States | 8,385,000 |
| 7 | Anthony Guidice | United States | 7,430,000 |
| 8 | Matthew Mcewan | United States | 7,180,000 |
| 9 | Mark Darner | United States | 6,975,000 |
| 10 | Bogdan Jontulovic | Serbia | 6,285,000 |
The only two bracelet winners left in contention are Darner and Nenad Medic, while the rest of the field is on the hunt for their first piece of WSOP gold.
Half the prize pool went to bounties, and the top bounty remained elusive throughout the day before being pulled by Jack Germaine. Germaine, who had a drink in hand, was so excited that he nabbed the microphone out of announcer Jeff Platt's hands and make an impromptu speech.
But there's still plenty left to be won, including the $350,000 first-place prize that will be awarded on Wednesday's Day 4.
