Sometimes mystery bounties may even be awarded before the money is reached. In smaller one-day tournaments, the format may vary. ![]() That may happen in the first few minutes of Day 2 when the first player is knocked out, or it could happen at the final table. Of course, you don’t know what bounty you’re going to get until you knock someone out, but each player you knock out could be worth $100,000. So everyone on Day 2 will have a bounty on them of at least their original contribution of $500, but 10 people will have a bounty at least 50x that amount (the $25K and above group), and one lucky person (unlucky?) will have a $100,000 bounty on their head. If 10% of the players cash and move to Day 2, then 100 players are playing for $1,000,000 in the main prize pool and $500,000 in bounties! Instead of each player getting a $5,000 bounty, payouts might be distributed in the mystery bounty format as follows: $100,000 If there are 1,000 players in this event, there is $500,000 in the bounty pool. The event I played at BestBet was a $1,680 buy-in mystery bounty tournament with $180 paid to the house as the entry fee, $500 going into a bounty pool, and $1,000 going into the prize pool paid to those who cash. You may get $100 or you may get $20,000, depending on how the bounty was randomly assigned (or drawn). However, instead of everyone receiving the same bounty amount, there is a wide range of bounties. But on Day 2, bounties are awarded every time a player is knocked out. In large, multi-day mystery bounty tournaments, Day 1 proceeds as a normal non-bounty tournament, with everyone who advances to Day 2 being in the money. Understandably, these tournaments create a lot of excitement for players. The Mystery Bounty tournament combines elements of both bounty and non-bounty tournaments, as well as the luck of a random prize drawing. Although I didn’t cash, I thought it would be worth telling the story and talking about the optimal strategy, especially given that there is a new bracelet event at the World Series of Poker this summer (Event #68, “Million Dollar Bounty”). Last weekend I played in a “Mystery Bounty” event at BestBet cardroom in Jacksonville, Florida.
