After the recent removal of the controversial jackpot feature from GGPoker, the leading online poker platform has announced the schedule for their upcoming $50 million guaranteed Bounty Hunters series.
The decision to discontinue the jackpot feature, which had previously come under fire for its impact on the poker economy, was met with mixed reactions from the poker community. However, GGPoker has wasted no time in filling the void with an exciting new tournament series that promises to be one of the biggest and most lucrative in their history.
The Bounty Hunters series will consist of a total of 213 tournaments spread out over two weeks, with buy-ins ranging from as low as $2 all the way up to $10,000. The highlight of the series will be the $5,000 buy-in Main Event, which boasts a guaranteed prize pool of $10 million.
In addition to the hefty prize money up for grabs, the Bounty Hunters series will also feature a unique bounty format, where players will earn cash rewards for every opponent they eliminate from the tournament. This added incentive is sure to attract some of the top poker talent in the world, making for a fiercely competitive and action-packed series.
GGPoker has also announced a number of satellite tournaments leading up to the main events, giving players of all bankrolls the opportunity to qualify for a shot at the big money. With a wide variety of formats and game types on offer, there is something for everyone in the Bounty Hunters series.
Commenting on the upcoming series, GGPoker spokesperson Sarah Jones said, “We are thrilled to bring this exciting new tournament series to our players. The removal of the jackpot feature has allowed us to focus on delivering the best possible poker experience, and we believe the Bounty Hunters series will do just that. With $50 million in guaranteed prize money, we expect this to be one of the most highly anticipated events of the year.”
The Bounty Hunters series is set to kick off on July 15th and will run through July 29th. Players can visit the GGPoker website for the full schedule and to register for any of the upcoming tournaments. With so much money on the line and some of the biggest names in poker expected to participate, this is one series that no poker fan will want to miss.
