Nível 20 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Brittney Stout has been crushing the competition during the first two days of the Wynn Mystery Bounty tournament. She's already spent much of Day 2's early going with the chip lead and had reached as much as 1.8 million chips.

Not only is she playing exceptionally well, but she even won a crucial race with a pair of 10's against her opponent's A-K to ship a big pot early on Day 2.

Stout, the wife of poker pro Matt Stout, has $70,000 in live tournament cashes. Her largest score entering the current event at Wynn was $27,544 for 8th place in a 2019 WPT DeepStack Kickoff No-Limit Hold'em tournament in Atlantic City.

If the cards continue falling her way on Sunday, she could more than double her lifetime cashes. Matt Stout has been busy tweeting out Brittney's chip count updates.

Update: My amazing wife @BritStout is now chip leading harder with 1.8M @ 12k after flopping a set of 10’s with TT>… https://t.co/MSZhHlMent

Hung Tran busted from the Wynn Mystery Bounty event and then went to draw for a mystery prize he earned for busting a player earlier in the day. He initially drew a $500 card, the minimum bounty, but the card indicated he earned a redraw. In that redraw, he pulled the first of three $100,000 bounties and will go home with a six-figure payday, lessening the disappointment of being eliminated from the tournament.
