In just under an hour, players will take their seats for the $185 + $15 + $100 No Limit Hold’em Bounty Event – Event 7 in the PokerStars Canada Cup!
Traditionally this is an event that closes out Tournament Series’ here at Playground Poker Club, but it’s such a popular event we decided to hold it on a Saturday night instead so that we can meet player demand. The event has a cap of 250 players and the event should grow to at least that number of players.
In a Bounty tournament, part of the entry fee goes to the prize pool ($185 in this case) and part of it is represented by $100 Bounty chips that each player keeps along with their stack. If you bust another player from the tournament, you get their $100 Bounty chip (but they keep the ones they’ve earned by eliminating other players). This wrinkle doesn’t seem like that big a deal in theory, but in practice, it leads to some, ahem, interesting hands when players’ decisions are overly influenced by the $100 a player can earn.
Good luck to all of the players!
