Event #68: $1,000 Million Dollar Bounty
Day 1c Started
Day 1c of Event #68: $1,000 Million Dollar Bounty continues today at noon local time live from the World Series of Poker, after 7,554 players have already taken to the tables to play either Day 1a or b.
With those numbers locked in already, it's increasingly likely the prize pool for this event will massive and this will be the biggest prize pool of the series outside of the Main Event and a High Roller.
389 players remain from the first two flights to battle it out on Day 2, but with two flights still to run, more will join them. Any players that busted Day 1a or b can play again in today's flights.
Armando Figueroa is our current chip leader with 3,150,000 chips but by the end of today's play we could have a new player at the top of the chip leaderboard. With many notables like main event champ Koray Aldemir still in, we are sure to have a star-studded Day 2 field when all is said and done tonight.
Day 1c of the Million Dollar Bounty will follow the same structure as Day 1a and 1b with 22 levels lasting 30 minutes and a 75-minute dinner break after Level 12.
Day 1d will start at 7:00 p.m., and it will be a turbo flight with only 15-minute levels. For players looking for a deeper structure or as many opportunities to run up a stack, Day 1c will benefit them.
