Today, the doors open in Las Vegas for one of the most anticipated and thrilling events of the summer. Event #51: $10,000 Mystery Bounty No-Limit Hold'em is not just any tournament. From the $10,000 buy-in, exactly $3,000 goes into a special bounty pool. Although the “envelopes” with surprise amounts will be opened during the second day, today's Day 1 is crucial for building a stack that will allow players to join the “hunt” tomorrow.
Last year, the tournament recorded 616 entries and the prizepool exceeded $5.7 million, with similar numbers expected this year. Last year's champion, Yosef Fox, walked away with a total of $729,333. Who will celebrate this year?
