Some 330 players were signed up right before the first virtual cards were dealt and the action is now underway. A first list of notable entries is to follow.
The second Progressive Knockout tournament of the 2020 GGPoker World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online Circuit will kick off at 1 p.m. EST (6 p.m. UTC) and a prize pool of $1,000,000 is guaranteed in Event #11: $1,050 Bounty Hunters Championship. One hour prior to the start, some 200 players have already signed up for the event and that number is certain to increase significantly.
All players start with 25,000 in chips, which equals 125 big blinds for the first level at blinds of 100-200 and a running ante of 25. The late registration will be available until level 12 and the first 12 levels feature a duration of 15 minutes each. However, all levels beyond that until the nine-handed final table then last 10 minutes each.
During the registration period, all participants can re-enter up to three times to take another shot at the seven-figure prize pool. For each player eliminated, a progressive bounty of at least $250 will be awarded while the second portion of the bounty will go on the own head.
Estonia's Urmo Velvelt won the only Bounty Event of the festival thus far and topped a field of 4,852 entries in Event #9 $315 BOUNTY GIANT two days ago. He is not registered yet but the likes of GGPoker ambassador Felipe Ramos, Jessica Teusl, Mario Mosboeck, Rainer Kempe, GGPoker GGSquad member Patrick "Egption" Tardif, and Stefan Schillhabel are already registered.
According to the tournament lobby, the tournament is expected to run for just shy of eight hours. Stay tuned as the PokerNews live reporting team will aim to provide as many key hands as possible en route to crown another champion in this one-day event.
