Welcome to Day 3 of the U Series of Poker: Poker 2U Taiwan Series! The ten-day live festival opened on February 10 at the Chinese Texas Hold’em Poker Association (CTP Club) in Taipei City, Taiwan and runs through February 19. For those that missed the opening festivities, Taiwan’s Ching Wei Chen ‘Carter’ 陳靖惟 shipped the Kick Off event and fellow countryman Chung Yi Ho 何崇義 picked up a trophy at the evening’s Hyper Turbo.
Today’s highlight is the Mystery Bounty which features a rich TWD 3,000,000 (~$99,430) guarantee. This is one million more than the Kick Off event. Yesterday, Day 1A and Day 1B attracted a combined 249 entries with 26 players advancing to Day 2. Only two starters left on schedule, both will run today. Day 1C starts at 1pm and Day 1D starts at 5pm. Buy in is TWD 10,000 (~$330). Read up on the details and previous starting day results down below.
