Hunting down partypoker “predators” earns you $22 tickets to the site’s Daily Legends tournament sporting the same name.
The $22 Predator is one of the most popular tournaments on the Daily Legends schedule. It runs Monday through Saturday at 5:05 p.m. GMT and features a $30,000 guaranteed prize pool.
That in itself is worth playing in the Predator, but the Predator Hunt promotion adds even more value. Up to 19 specially selected “predators” will frequent The Predator during the week and these 19 stars have an extra bounty on their heads in addition to the tournament’s bounty.

Bo Pajes? Erichsen is leading the way in the PKO WPT Super $530, but they've gotten there without picking up any bounties so far. They have 235,929 to lead the counts, but $0 in bounties. The next two players both have $125 in their pockets and around 200,000 each.
With action still in Level 1 of WPT Super $55, there are a raft of players showing bounties and double or triple stacks already. Most of the first page of results in the lobby include a bounty beside their name, with two players already over triple start stack with two bounty prizes in their pockets already.

Iurii Zakharov is the top dog in WPT Super $215 after the first break. Action is in Level 6 now, and the chip leader has more than 430,000 chips with $150 in bounties already in their pocket. The field on this one is up to 364 entries with 322 stacks in play. That puts the collected money at $73,000, almost 75% of the guaranteed $100,000.
Two more big events are just getting underway now. WPT Super $520 and WPT Super $55 are both in Level 1 action, with cards just in the air. And there are still two more big games coming up after the top of the next hour, as WPT Weekender Final Day gets underway alongside the huge opening Day 1 flight for WPT WOC Main Event with $5 million guaranteed.
