After three starting flights, the stage is set for Day 2 of the Wynn Fall Classic $2,200 Mystery Bounty with John Leathart leading the pack with 1,292,000 in chips.
In total, 2,333 players entered across all starting flights — generating a $4,666,000 prize pool. Today, just 255 will return to battle for the title.
Of course, each returning player on Day 2 has been assigned a "mystery bounty," which will be awarded to the player who scores the knockout and ranges anywhere from $500 to $250,000. All returning players are already in the money and will take home at least $3,335 for their efforts. The eventual winner will collect $394,292.
