Today saw the start of Event #51: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Bounty at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. The tournament drew 1,982 runners, which surpassed last year's 1,927 field size. The prize pool generated was $2,675,700 and on top of that, there was a bounty placed on every player's head. For each knock-out that took place, the winning player took the busted player's bounty chip, worth $500.

Play ended after the bubble had burst. Tables had been playing hand for hand for around 15 minutes and 298 made it through to Day 2. All of those have locked up at least $1,415, not taking the accumulated bounties into accord. They will have their sights on the top prize though, as whoever is the last person standing will take home $272,504 for first place, plus a coveted bracelet, plus all the bounties they're collecting along the way.

Those coming back with the largest stacks in play are Alex Whitenstall (197,800), who bagged the chip lead. There were five in total who made it into six figures after 10 hours of play, they are Ranno Sootla (171,000), Sean Getzwiller (143,000), Michael Steele (122,900) and Christian Nolte (121,900).

Some notable names will be back here again tomorrow to continue their campaign. Amongst them are Paawan Bansal (98,700), Jeff Gross (78,500), the brothers Ralph Massey (73,300) and Aaron Massey (72,300), Martin Mathis (70,400), Ivan Deyra (57,400) and Maria Konnikova (35,900).

There will be a total of ten 60-minute levels play, with a 20-minute break taking place at the end of every two levels and a 75-minute dinner break coming at the end of Level 6. Play will resume at noon on Tuesday, June 26, in the Orange and Tan sections of the Amazon Room.

Steven van Zadelhoff has had a rollercoaster of a day, with plenty of ups and downs along the way.

Just now he took down a small pot, adding to his already large stack. He opened in early position and got calls from both the blinds. The flop came {6-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{3-Spades} and after both blinds checked, he took it down with a continuation bet of 1,700.

Steele Catches Khun with Hand in the Cookie Jar

Nível 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

The board showed {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Chanracy Khun moved all in for about 46,000 into a pot of around 70,000. Michael Steele thought for a few minutes before throwing in a single chip to signify a call for his last 41,000.

Khun then quickly tabled {q-Spades}{2-Hearts} for nothing but a high hand and Steel tabled {k-Spades}{j-Clubs} for a pair of kings. Steele took down the biggest pot of the day and is now the leader of the tournament.
