Cards are in the air on the final table of Event #29: $25 Main Event Mystery Bounty.
The culmination of the 2023 888 Poker KO Games, Event #29: $25 Main Event Mystery Bounty, attracted a total of 8,008 entries across Day 1 flights to meet the lofty $200,000 guarantee. After two full days of play, just eight hopefuls remain, all looking to secure the $10,800 first place prize to go along with any bounties they have collected along the way.
Brazil's "and_ortega" leads the pack entering the final table with a massive 31,884,159 stack, good for 159 Big Blinds. Not too far behind them sits "Bkira" of Ukraine, who managed to accumulate 27,564,801 in chips. There is something of a dropoff after that as "fjreis" rounds out the top three on 13,277,350, still a healthy 66 Big Blind stack.
