Mystery Bounty Tournaments
While the New Year Series as a whole is another exciting online festival, many poker players will instantly lock in the dates of the highly anticipated Mystery Bounty tournament debut. In fact, there will be two inaugural events taking place on January 7 with two separate buy-ins and over $1M in guaranteed prize pools.
- $11 Mystery Bounty ($250k GTD)
- $109 Mystery Bounty Sunday Million ($1M GTD)
Mystery Bounty tournaments work the same as regular bounty tournaments, by assigning an award to player for knocking out other players. However, in Mystery Bounty tournaments this amount is a surprise that is only revealed once an opponent has been knocked out - with a restricted amount of larger bounties on offer in any tournament.
