Final Table Ready To Go
Welcome to Day 2 of the 2011 North American Poker Tour Mohegan Sun High Roller Bounty Shootout. After two flights of single tables, some eight-handed and some nine-handed, we have nine winners that will meet at the final table today.
For winning his starting table, each player has already earned $40,000 plus $2,000 for each bounty they collected. In addition, the player who wins the most bounties will also receive another $20,000 plus a seat into the next North American Poker Tour Bounty Shootout.
The man with the most bounties heading into play today is, who else, the defending champion Jason Mercier with six. He will be looking for the repeat, but will have to get through an impressive bunch to do so.
Here is how the seating assignments shape up.
| Seat | Player | Bounties |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Taylor von Kriegenbergh | 2 |
| 2 | Joe Sweeney | 6 |
| 3 | Micah Raskin | 3 |
| 4 | Michael Pesek | 2 |
| 5 | Eugene Katchalov | 4 |
| 6 | Jimmie Guinther | 3 |
| 7 | Scott Blackman | 4 |
| 8 | Jonathan Jaffe | 2 |
| 9 | Jason Mercier | 7 |
Despite the different-sized table they bested on Day 1, each player will start with 50,000 in chips today and will be competing for an overall top prize of $142,600. Play is expected to kick off shortly, so be sure to keep it here at PokerNews for all of the exciting action.
