Day 2 of Event #39: $215 Mystery Bounty Main Event at the PokerNews Online Championship Kicks Off

Day 2 of Event #39: $215 Mystery Bounty Main Event Kicks Off

With a successful inaugural PokerNews Online Championship hosted by 888Poker nearly in the books, the stage has been set for the blue ribbon tournament, Event #39: $215 Mystery Bounty Main Event. Numerous Day 1 flights have been running over the past few days with a total of 1,616 entries at the time of writing. Of those, 225 have managed to book their seat in Day 2, with that number set to rise as the last few flights conclude before play gets underway in a little over an hour.

Currently leading the pack is "jessecesar" of Brazil, who managed to spin their starting stack of 10,000 up to an impressive 220,451. Not too far behind sits PokerNews ambassador and twitch streamer Lukas "RobinPoker." Robinson on 190,445 while Brazilian "zedonato" rounds out the top three with 185,414. Robinson is not the only prominent player to have bagged big as fellow British streamer and 888Poker ambassador Nick "eastyyy22" Eastwood enters the day with 122,818.

The mystery bounty portion of the tournament comes into play on Day 2, which should be of significance to the remaining players given the $30,000 top bounty. That number currently eclipses the top prize of $25,626 set to head the way of the winner of the regular half of the tournament.

"mogyo_10" Bubbles Event #39: $215 Mystery Bounty Main Event

Level 22: 1,500/3,000

"mogyo_10" was forced all in from the big blind with "NotSureIf" and "EstorilBlue" limping from under the gun and early position respectively. "manel9595" then raised to 14,100 from middle position, receiving calls from both limpers.

"mogyo_10" turned over 8♦7♥ but it was no good as "manel9595" held A♣5♣ for the flopped full house to score the elimination and bring the remaining 180 players into the money.

"pokanuktus" Building Stack

Level 26: 3,000/6,000

"pokanuktus" limped from middle position as did "jessecesar" in the cutoff. "3AHYDA" then raised to 30,000 on the button, only to see "pokanuktus" move all in with the covering stack. "jessecesar" quickly folded while "3AHYDA" called off for their remaining chips.

"3AHYDA": A♥5♥ All in
"pokanuktus": A♠Q♣

The at risk player was dominated and would need help to survive. None came, however, on the 3♥5♦Q♠6♠6♣ runout to hand a large pot and elimination to "pokanuktus".

Jogador	Fichas	Progresso
pokanuktus	764,470
jessecesar	111,111 -154,922	-154,922
3AHYDA	Eliminado
