Bounty Hunters Series – Summer 2024 – End of Week 1
The 2024 GGPoker Bounty Hunters Series, a thrilling event where every knockout not only brings you closer to victory but also to significant rewards, has finished its first full work week of events! Having started on July 7th and running until July 29, this online series features a total guaranteed prize pool of $50 million spread across a myriad of events. With buy-ins ranging from $1 to over $1,000, there’s something for every level of player, whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out.
New and Exciting for the 2024 Bounty Hunters Series
This summer’s series features an even more impressive array of tournaments and guarantees, including the highly anticipated Mystery Bounty Main Event, boasting a $4 million guaranteed prize pool. Traditionally, the biggest mystery bounty equals 10% of the guarantee, but this time, instead of one $400,000 prize, there are ten $100,000 bounties. This change provides ten players with a chance to win big – you could find yourself $100K richer every time you knockout an opponent. Additionally, a $1 million bounty leaderboard rewards the top 2,000 players daily, increasing your potential winnings with each knockout.
Variety for Every Player
The series offers an extensive range of tournaments to ensure that every type of player can find something to enjoy. Whether you favor quick turbo events or prefer the slow, strategic play of deep stack tournaments, there’s a format that suits you. Highlights include the Sunday Special Editions, the Global MILLION$ Bounty Edition, the Mystery Bounty Mini Main, and the Mystery MILLION$ Main Event. Each of these marquee events promises significant prize pools and captivating gameplay.
