Look no further than the KO Games Main Events at 888poker if you want to add some value to your Monday grind. While most of the KO games have put up impressive numbers, the two showpiece tournaments look set to overlay, with only a handful of flights remaining in the $300,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event and the $100,000 Mystery Bounty Mini Event.

Another 367 Entries Required in the $300,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event

Event #29 is the $215 buy-in, $300,000 guaranteed Mystery Bounty Main Event. At the time of writing, 1,133 players had bought in across several Day 1s, leaving 888poker requiring another 367 entries over the final trio of starting flights. Only once has a Day 1 for this event drawn in more than 100 players, meaning an overlay is the most likely outcome.

If you enter and navigate to Day 2, which shuffles up and deals at 9:00 p.m. GMT today, you give yourself a chance to win one of the massive mystery bounties in play from the off. Ten bounties weigh in at $3,000, three at $6,500, and two are worth $12,000. However, one lucky 888poker player will see $30,000 land in their account if they pull out the jackpot bounty prize.

Over the weekend, Mexico's "55luckbox777" shot into the lead in the $300,000 guaranteed Main Event, turning their 10,000 starting stack into 212,076. However, things are tight at the top, with second-placed "TAJJMAAKKHAL" (211,822), 888poker's Leo "KaizenStyle" Jokura (210,615), and "2pacnrw16" (203,921) separated by only three big blinds!

Day 2 starts at 9:00 p.m. GMT and continues until the eight-handed final table is set. Those eight survivors hit the 888poker virtual felt on October 29 at 7:00 p.m. GMT under the watchful eyes of the 888poker Twitch stream team.

Remaining $300,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event Day 1s

Three flights remain for the $300,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event, running at 2:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. GMT. A bunch of satellites are also in the 888poker lobby, so hit those up if the Main Event's $215 buy-in is too steep for your bankroll.

The $100,000 Mystery Bounty Mini Event has a $100,000 guarantee on its prize pool despite only costing $25 to enter. Some 3,057 players have bought in or re-entered, but 888poker require another 1,387 value-seekers to enter the fray if they are to avoid an overlay. Each of the completed Day 1s has averaged just shy of 73 entries; only four flights remain, so you do the math.
