6 PM UTC Start for Event #60: $525 Bounty
It's time for another bounty tournament on GGPoker as Event #60: $525 Bounty starts at 6 p.m. UTC to give players another shot at earning the progressive bounties while trying to win the coveted gold WSOP bracelet.
Twentyseven bracelets have already been awarded with players like Daniel Dvoress, Kristen Bicknell, Roberto Romanello, Simon Lofberg, Yuri Dzivielevski, and Juha Helppi have won one while Alek Stasiak has won two.
When players take their seats during the first three hours of late registration, they will get 25,000 chips in their starting stack. Players can reenter twice if they can't keep hold of their chips during that period and this tournament has the Bubble Protection feature activated. This means that players who register before the start of the tournament will get their buy-in back if they bust during the bubble period.
A progressive bounty of at least $125 will be awarded for each player that has been eliminated. The winning player in the hand will get 50% of the bounty added to their bankroll while the other 50% will be added to the bounty on their own head.
Levels will last 15 minutes each until the final table and then increase after every 30 hands. The tournament is also played in a 6-max format but the final table will be 9-handed and full real names of the players will be revealed at that time.
PokerNews will be there from the first bounty until the final river card has been dealt so follow along with all the exciting bounty action right here.
