Bust Outs Galore, ITM Reached

Shoves were rampant from the opening deal, sending players to the rail in quick succession. The field thinned so rapidly that three players fell simultaneously, bursting the bubble before hand-for-hand play even began.

There are now 38 players in the field, everyone is now in the money.

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.
