Bounty Tournaments assign a bounty to those players you’re dying to knock out of the game, such as celebrities, leaderboard winners, or even professional poker players. These players understand that they are heavily being pursued, but at the same time, they enjoy the pursuit because they get their own bounty if they win the tournament.

How To Play

Bounty tournaments are an exciting new way for players to earn extra cash in tournaments. All players who enter a bounty tournament pay the same entry fee. On top of the regular tournament prize pool, certain players in the tournament will be on a list of bounty players - with a prize on their head! Knock them out of the tournament and claim your prize.

Bounty players appear in the Player List in bold, orange text along with the bounty amount that they carry. Players who won bounties are highlighted.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1. Choose Your Bounty Tournament

When you’re at the main lobby, click on the Tourney tab. Bounty tournaments are easily identified by the “B” icon shown on the left hand side of the tournament listing. Select a bounty tournament that has a status of “Registering.” Players never contribute to other players’ bounties - bounty money is always money added.

Step 2. Start Playing

Your bounty targets are player names that appear in orange in the tournament lobby. Bounty amounts are displayed by their names.

Step 3. Eliminating a Bounty Player

Tournament play continues until one player wins all the chips. If you have eliminated a bounty player, the bounty, or the amount of money on the player’s head, will be credited to your account as soon as the tournament ends. Players who have finished in the money will receive their share of the prize pool plus any bounty winnings.

Bounty Tournament Rules

• Multiple bounties are rewarded if you eliminate more than one player.
• Bounties are not split! If a bounty player is eliminated by two or more players who split the pot, the bounty is awarded to the winning player with the largest stack. If the stacks are equal, the winning player closest to the button receives the bounty.
• If a bounty player wins the tournament, they keep their own bounty.
