Event #1: $400 Mystery Bounty at the 2023 Potomac Winter Poker Open continues today with Day 1c, the third of six starting flights.

Days 1a and 1b saw a combined 612 entries with just 48 of those players making it through to Day 2. Currently leading the survivors is Shouyi Gao of the United States, sitting on a massive stack of 920,000. Other large stacks include Jacob Mitich (806,000), Lashawn Myles (670,000) and day 1a chip leader David Simard (663,000).

Play for Day 1c is set to begin at 11 a.m. local time. Players taking their seats at that time will start with 25,000 in tournament chips and blinds of 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante. Levels throughout the day will be 30 minutes in length and late registration will remain open until level 12. The money bubble will burst once 10% of the field remains and play will only conclude when 8% of the initial runners are left. Those who make it into the money but bust on Day 1 will receive a flat $500.

The mystery bounty portion of the tournament does not come into play until Day 2, at which stage every remaining player will be assigned a mystery bounty. At that time, if a player knocks out an opponent, they will receive a mystery bounty ticket, which can be redeemed at the mystery bounty redemption table. Potential prizes range in value from $50 to $25,000.

Day 2 resumes on Sunday, January 29th at 12 p.m. with blind levels increasing to 45 minutes. Play will then continue until a winner is crowned.
