Format Breakdown
If you’re new to the bounty tournament format, here’s a quick rundown:
-
Progressive Bounty Tournaments: In these tournaments, players earn bounties every time they eliminate an opponent. The bounty prize grows as the tournament continues. Eliminating players who have already knocked out others will yield larger bounty rewards.
-
Mystery Bounty Tournaments: The unique feature of mystery bounty tournaments is that half of the buy-in goes into the bounty pool. The first phase of the tournament is standard, with no bounties awarded. However, in the Final Stage, every knockout results in a random mystery bounty. This means that the amount of the bounty is unknown until it’s awarded.
According to Paul Burke, Head of PR at GGPoker, “The Bounty Hunter Series features some of the biggest mystery bounty tournaments ever scheduled, and the $50 million prize guarantee ensures that this will be an exciting series for all players.”
Whether you’re aiming for the massive bounties or just looking to enjoy the thrill of the tournament, the Bounty Hunter Series offers plenty of opportunities for poker enthusiasts of all levels.
