Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2024 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.

Today sees Day 1b of Event #86: $1,000 Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. This is a brand new event for the WSOP and $300 from each buy-in will go towards the bounty pool. Bounties will begin on Day 2. Players will draw a random bounty prize for every player they eliminate.

This is a two-day event, which features two Day 1 flights. Day 1b gets underway at 10 a.m. local time, with late registration open for 12 levels. This event allows for two reentries per flight. There will be 20-minute breaks every three levels, with a 60-minute dinner break at the end of Level 12 (~7:00 p.m.).

The starting stack is 40,000 chips, with the plan for Day 1 to play 17 40-minute levels. For the surviving players, Day 2 resumes at 11 a.m. on Thursday, July 11 and plays down to a winner. Traditional PokerNews coverage will begin on Day 2.

Yesterday, 1,701 entrants bought into Day 1a, showing the popularity of mystery bounty tournaments. By the night's end, only 193 players had chips requiring bagging.

Gene Grieshaber finished with 1,211,000 chips in his stack, enough for an early chip lead. Five other players bagged up seven-figure stacks, including Japanese star Daisuke Ogita (1,205,000) and Sweden's Ramzi Jelassi (1,171,000).
