Day 2 of Event #29: $25 Main Event Mystery Bounty at the 888 Poker KO Games Kicks Off
Day 2 of Event #29: $25 Main Event Mystery Bounty at the 888 Poker KO Games kicks off today at 4 p.m. ET with 1,367 players remaining from a total of 7,959 entries across the Day 1 flights. With a guaranteed prizepool of $200,000, that means there is a sizable overlay sitting at around $28,000 with extra value for those who make it into the money. That being said, the last Day 1 flight has yet to conclude, so those numbers will change by the time Day 2 begins.
Currently leading the field is "brainiac1" of Croatia, who managed to spin their 12,000 starting stack up to an impressive 448,724 on Day 1, good for 281 Big Blinds to start Day 2. They put some distance between themselves and their nearest competitor, Ukraine's "Yarik_PRO_1", who enters the day with 409,380. Brazilian "mateusep" rounds out the top three on 308,892.

In addition, a not too shabby $10,800 is currently slated to go the eventual winner's way from the regular prizepool.
Blinds resume in Level 18 at 800/1,600 with a 200 ante. As on Day 1, they will continue to increase every 12-minutes with play on Day 2 continuing until the final table is set. The final table will resume tomorrow, December 12th at 2 p.m. ET.
