Day 1f of Event #1: $400 Mystery Bounty has come to an end with Gordon McKenzie emerging on top after bagging 609,000 in chips. McKenzie's chip lead was thanks part to a crazy three-way all-in on the stone bubble wherein he eliminated two players at once. Trailing McKenzie for Day 1f is Nick Chow (570,000), Marshall Roof (569,000), and Alexander Wright (537,000).

Day 1f began with 125 players and that number continued to rise until the end of late registration for a final count of 463. Between all six flights, Event #1: $400 Mystery Bounty attracted 2,457 total entries, which is more than enough to cover the $500k guarantee.

Several notables tried to secure a Day 2 birth but fell short, including WSOP-bracelet winner Yaser Al-Keliddar, Justin Arnwine, and Jay Jin, who was part of the money bubble for the second time this event after bubbling Day 1b. As mentioned, the money bubble burst in an unforgettable hand that saw three players holding aces, kings, and queens respectively get all-in preflop, with aces holding for a double KO. A third player also busted on the bubble at a different table after Evan Kochav (219,000) rivered a flush against him.

It took less than a level for an additional seven players to bust and end play for the day with 36 survivors. In total, there were 193 players that made it to Day 2 between the six starting flights.
