Cheng Denies Chou His Bounty

Ting Yao Chou had just sat down from pulling another bounty from the treasure chest when he peeked at another favorable hand and this time he raised. Several spots over, Lai Po Cheng shoved 355,000 and for the third consecutive final table hand, Chou was involved with a call.

Lai was in prime position for the double up and pulled even further ahead after pairing up on the flop. The turn brought a slight scare by giving Chou a flush draw, but it failed to complete, allowing Lai to double through and keep his bounty intact.

The Hunt Is On! 52 Return for Mini Mystery Bounty

The Mini Mystery Bounty was one hot ticket, drawing 257 entries across three flights to build a NT$ 494,262 prize pool from an affordable NT$ 3,500 buy-in.

Today, 52 players return, and here's where things get interesting: only 39 will reach the money, but every player coming back has a shot at the coveted mystery bounties.

That means even those who fall short of the regular payouts can still walk away with a nice haul. For those who do reach the money, awaiting the champion is NT$ 92,000. With cash prizes and mystery rewards both up for grabs, there should be plenty to chase when the cards start flying at 11:00 AM.

Follow the action from start to finish right here.
