GGPoker has announced its Bounty Hunters Series, which will kick of on Sunday October 16 and run until November 7. The series, which comprises of progressive bounty poker events with buy-ins beginning at $5.25, will provide at least $50,000,000 in prizes.
The flagship event of the Bounty Hunters Series is the $210 MYSTERY BOUNTY Main Event with the Final Stage on November 7 offering a $5,000,000 Guaranteed prize pool and $500K Top Bounty
Other key events are:
- Global MILLION$ Bounty Edition, $1M GTD – Final Table on October 23 – $1,000,000 GTD
- Special Edition GGMasters $25 Bounty Freezeouts – You will have three chances daily to win big
- Bounty Hunters Daily Main
- Sunday Special Editions – Sunday High Rollers Main, Sunday Big Game and more
Except for the $210 MYSTERY Bounty Main Event, all series events will use GGPoker’s new Bounty Jackpot concept, with rewards of up to $1,000,000 available to players who knock out one opponent and earn a jackpot payout.
Throughout the series, satellite tournaments to give you an opportunity to qualify into other events will be held.
In bounty tournaments, participants gain prizes for eliminating another player from the event; these bounty awards are paid in addition to any ordinary prizes won. Players’ incentives are simple. The more opponents a player knocks out, the more awards he or she will receive.
The bounty rewards become larger when players knock each other out in GGPoker’s progressive bounty tournament style; by removing a player who has already knocked out numerous opponents, you will collect a considerably larger bounty payout than available at the start of an event.
Some intriguing format adjustments are thrown to the mix in a mystery bounty poker tournament; first, the buy-in is divided 50/50, with half going into the conventional prize pool and the other half going into the bounty reward pool. The game is divided into stages, with Phase 1 running in the same manner as a conventional tournament with no bounty given out when participants are eliminated.
Knockouts are now more exciting in the Last Stage, as each player who eliminates another will get a random mystery reward, with the highest prize as likely to be claimed when the Final Stage’s first knockout happens as on the event’s final hand!
New GGPoker players are eligible for the poker room’s Welcome Bonus, as well as the Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion, and are instantly enrolled in GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program, which offers regular cash prizes.
Sarne Lightman, Global Head of GGPoker, said:
“Everyone loves bounty tournaments, and it’s easy to see why; all players have targets on their back and it’s hunt or be hunted at the tables. This is our second Bounty Hunters Series of the year, and there’s so much player interest that we’ve increased the total prize pool guarantee from $30 million to $50 million – let the hunt begin!
