The third of five starting flights in the $550 Mystery Bounty at PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) Las Vegas wrapped up with 46 players advancing to Day 2. Leading the way is Quang Vu alongside fellow big stacks Leon Dejoras and Christian Roberts.
These 46 players will join the survivors of the other four flights for Day 2 on Nov. 4, which is when bounties will enter the fray. That's also when the prize pool will be set, which has already smashed the $300,000 guarantee.

Day 1c Highlights
The tournament has already produced some interesting storylines, including notorious 2006 WSOP trash talker Eric Molina making a rare appearance as he soft-bubbled the Day 1a despite flopping a set of aces.
The coolers continued as Terrance Reid flopped a no-good second nut flush to be left with crumbs before bricking a combo draw. Reid bought back in and used the second bullet to run up a top-five stack.
Others who survived Day 1c include Frank Lagodich, Jessica Vierling, Christina Gollins and Michael Wang, who is fresh off a WPT Montreal victory.
Some who failed to bag include poker commentator Jeff Platt, WPT champion Dongwoo Ko and bracelet winners Mark Seif, Jimmy Setna, Tyler Patterson and Rep Porter.
Before Day 2, there is still another starting flight that needs to play out. Day 1e will get underway on Nov. 3 at noon local time and is anticipated to be the biggest starting flight of them all.
Stay tuned as PokerNews will be back on-site tomorrow for coverage of the final starting flight. Check out the live updates from the still-underway Day 1d in the meantime.

Matthew Schulte moved all in for 130,000 from the hijack and was up against Christian Roberts on the button.
Matthew Schulte: J♦J♥ 
Christian Roberts: 10♦10♥
Schulte had Roberts dominated and was poised for a double up on the money bubble until the flop brought 9♠10♣K♠ to give Roberts a set. The rest of the board came 9♦A♣ and Roberts finished with a full house to send Schulte to the rail as the bubble boy.
The remaining 46 players are bagging up their chips for the night.

The K♠K♣J♦ flop left open the possibility of a chop, but Lee missed the 8♦ turn and 6♦ river as he hit the rail a few spots short of the money.
