It's Almost Bounty Time at the 2021 WCOOP!
The 2021 WCOOP rolls on today with three more events coming up for you guys, all of them Progressive KO Events! Today's coverage will be of WCOOP-22-M: $530 NLHE (8-Max) Progressive KO, and it will be kicking off at 5:05 PM GMT! For those who don't know how the Progressive Bounty works, here's a quick breakdown. All players will start with the bounty on their heads. Once they knock a player out, half of that bounty will go directly into their player bank, while the other half will be added to their own bounty. That means that the more bounties you earn, the more money you get, but it will also pain a bigger target on your back!
Today's Medium level WCOOP Event has a buy-in of $530, meaning that all players will start with $125 as their bounty. All players will be starting with 100,000 in chips, and player can re-enter up to three times if they are knocked out. The prizepool has a guarantee of $1 Million, and late registration will be available for the first four and a half hours of play, or until roughly 9:45 PM GMT.
Day 1 of this event is scheduled to wrap up after 7 hours and 45 minutes of play, and the Day 2 finals will kick off on Saturday at the same start time as today: 5:05 PM GMT. Pokernews will be here for all of the action, so be sure to come back shortly for all of your updates!
