Mystery Bounty Format Returns for Main Event

The first eye-catcher on the schedule takes place on the opening day with the Progressive Knockout Sunday Million ($1M GTD) and comes with the usual $109 buy-in.

The festival's Main Events kick off one week later on February 4 and sees three tiers of buy-ins for the No Limit Hold'em editions, and a Pot-Limit Omaha instalment has also been chucked in for good measure. These Showstoppers will be Mystery Bounty tournaments, where players can win a surprise reward for knocking out an opponent.

For the low tier of the Main Event, it'll just cost $11 to take part, which is some incredible value when no less than $250,000 will be paid out to those who make the money. The $109 buy-in level boasts an incredible $1.25 guarantee, while high rollers can get stuck into the $1,050 buy-in Main Event.

As always, players can pay their entry fee directly, but check out the numerous satellites to book your seat at the table for a fraction of the price.
