Day 1 has finished, and the players have bagged their chips for tomorrow’s Day 2 of the 50-50 Bounty.
Frequent showdowns and lots of tense moments were the theme of the evening. The 84 players who made it out for Day 1 were clearly in the mood to gamble for bounties; multi-way all-in situations were a regular occurrence. Virtually every time a bounty chip was in play there was at least one caller. So it comes as no surprise that only 18 players survived the 13 levels played this evening. Most players who survived this flight have already captured several bounties, which puts most of them in the poker player’s dream situation: free rolling for a chance to get a piece of a $100,000 prize pool.
The current chip leader, who had the biggest stack for most of the evening, is Jonathan Marrie with 253,000.
Day 2 kicks off at 7:00pm on Tuesday. Good luck to all!
