It was business as usual at 888poker over the weekend after the conclusion of the exciting XL Autumn Series. A field of exactly 1,000 players entered the $109 buy-in $100,000 guaranteed Mystery Bounty Main Event on October 8, ensuring the guarantee was met. Those entrants were reduced to only nine during Day 1's action, with the final nine returning to their seats on October 9 under the watchful eyes of the 888poker Twitch stream team.
The mystery bounties came into play from the 18th level on Day 1, and it did not take too long for some of the larger prizes to find new homes.
