Big Bounties at PokerStars
PokerStars’ Bounty Builder tournaments continue to increase in popularity and it’s easy to see why. This $530 buy-in high roller edition drew in a crowd of 907 entrants.
The top six finishers all won five-figure scores when bounty payments were added. Nobody, however, got near the total prize won by “manupochat” who was the tournament’s champion.
Online PKO tournaments tend to pay first and second-place the same amount from the main prize pool. The heads-up duo then fight it out for what is now a big bounty payment. The top two here both won $32,375 but manupochat banked an additional $44,479 worth of bounties. “SexyShmeiK” added $5,320 bounties to their prize.
