A total of 2002 players took their shot at Event #34: $250 Mystery Bounty Main Event at the 888 XL Autumn Series. After two grueling days of play, the field has been narrowed down to just an eight-player final table. Those eight players will return today to battle it out for one of the remaining bounties and the first-place prize of $34,525.
The mystery bounty format kicked in on Day 2. Players who knocked out an opponent got a portion of the massive $500,000 guarantee in the form of a mystery envelope that opened immediately, revealing what could be a huge prize. ��Inflaatio�� pulled the $50,000 bounty early in Day 2 but there is still a $15,000 bounty in play. Players at the final table must consider pay jumps and bounties, creating an interesting dynamic.
The final table will be streamed on a one-hour delay starting today at 19:00 GMT. All the players that remain have locked up at least an eighth-place cash of $4,300 but they will obviously be vying for the first-place prize of $34,525.
