Only Four Days Until the $100K ChampionChip Games Main Event at 888poker

Imagine playing for a share of a guaranteed $100,000 for only a $25 investment. It would be cool, right? If you agree, you must head to 888poker and get involved in the online poker giant’s ChampionChip Mystery Bounty Main Event, where $100,000 is guaranteed to be won, including a $10,000 jackpot bounty payment.

The Mystery Bounty Main Event is in full swing, with several flights already in the bag. At the time of writing, 2,258 players had bought in, and 267 of those had progressed to Day 2. The mathematicians among you will no doubt have realized that the number of entrants leaves a substantial difference between the prize money collected and the guaranteed amount. We’ll tell you that the Mystery Bounty Main Event needs to attract the same number of entrants in the next four days to hit the ambitious guaranteed amount!

More flights are scheduled daily, including March 24, when Day 2 commences at 9:30 p.m. BST. Mystery Bounty Main Event players, whether they buy-in for $25 or satellite in from only $0.50, sit down with 10,000 chips and play to an excellent blind structure starting at 20/40/5. Late registration remains open for a very precise 198 minutes, with unlimited re-entries permitted during that time.

Each flight continues until the end of Level 20 or when 11% of the field remains, whichever comes sooner. Surviving players return to the 888poker tables on March 24 at 9:30 p.m. BST on Level 21, where blinds are 1,250/2,500/300a and the mystery bounties in play.

Sixteen of the mystery bounties are worth at least $1,000, with one lucky 888poker player set to open a golden envelope containing $10,000!

Starting Day 2 of the Mystery Bounty Main Event won’t guarantee you’ll reach the final table or go on to become the tournament’s champion, but having bags of chips at your disposal indeed makes those two things more likely.

Romania’s “DJoKerKJ” is the player to catch right now, having turned their 10,000 starting stack into a tournament-leading 317,126 chips. That stack equates to 127 big blinds, making the leader one of only three Main Event players to return with 100 or more big blinds. “TNARO” of Brazil and “BigFish20” are the other two.

A stack of at least 206,767 is required to break into the current top ten; you had better get grinding!
