After six starting flights that attracted a total of 2,457 entries, day 2 of Event #1: $400 Mystery Bounty at the Potomac Winter Poker Open has finally arrived. With just 8% of the initial field left, 193 players will retake their seat today to play down to a winner.

Currently leading the day 1 survivors is Sheldon Poe of the United States with a whopping 976,000. Day 1d chip leader Aaron Wright sits second in chips with 952,000 while day 1b chip leader Shouyi Gao (920,000) rounds out the top three.

Although the final payouts have not yet been released, with a field of this size the top prize is sure to be a healthy one. For those players unable to make a deep run on day 2, there is still plenty of value to be had with the mystery bounty element of the tournament coming into play. Every player will now collect a mystery bounty receipt each time they eliminate an opponent. That receipt could be worth anywhere from $50 to $25,000.
