Today saw the start of the inaugural Event #86: $1,000 Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. The first of two flights drew in 1,701 entrants, but only 193 of those starters made it through to Day 2, which is when the mystery bounties come into play.
Gene Grieshaber (1,211,000) bagged up the Day 1a chip lead, one of six players to finish the night with a seven-figure stack. Japan's Daisuke Ogita (1,205,000), Sweden's Ramzi Jelassi (1,171,000), Dimas Martinez (1,114,000), Brian Brunner (1,064,000), and Peter Siemund (1,003,700) were the others.

Scott Bohlman (798,000) narrowly missed out on a place in the chip counts' top ten, finishing Day 1a in 11th place as he looks to win his second bracelet. Bohlman won his bracelet in the $2,500 Mixed Big Bet event in 2018. Earlier this summer, he finished fourth in the $3,000 9-Game Mix, narrowly missing out on some poker gold but banking $65,654.
Others who have reached Day 2 include Lou Garza (574,000), Jason Wheeler (570,000), Patrick Moulder (461,000), Cliff Josephy (446,000), Max Kruse (414,000), Jeff Madsen (403,000), Dan Shak (356,000), Jim Collopy (206,000), and Toby Lewis (116,000).
The surviving players get a day's rest before they return to the tables on Thursday, July 11. That's because Day 1b shuffles up and deals at 10 a.m. local time on July 10 and sees entrants try to make it through 17 levels spanning 40 minutes each.

The initial schedule — US and international — is out for the 2024-2025 World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) season, and it should create some excitement within the poker community.
Action for the 20th Circuit season kicks off at a familiar spot — Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, Oklahoma — on July 17, the same day as the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event concludes. There will also be a return to the same casino in October.
There are 18 stops — 13 in the US and five in other countries — on the 2024 portion of the WSOPC schedule. That includes five different countries and eight US states.
