Turn $25 Into a Share of $100,000 in the Weekly Golden Bounty
If you are a fan of bounty tournaments, you should head to the Weekly Golden Bounty tab of the WPT Global tournament lobby. Here you will find a $25 buy-in, $100,000 guaranteed tournament bearing the same name.
This multi-day event has several Day 1s running throughout the week. Entrants sit down with 10,000 chips and play to a 10-minute clock, with blinds starting at 50/100/12a. Play on Day 1 continues until only 11% of the field remains or if Level 20 is reached, whichever happens sooner. Surviving players return to the action from 12:30 p.m. UTC on the next available Sunday to conclude the tournament.
Progressive bounties are in play from the start, meaning you can win money without reaching Day 2. Those bounties can quickly add up. Just ask China's "619Fish" who is the current chip leader going into May 11's Day 2. They turned their 10,000 starting stack into 864,909 chips plus $238.16 worth of bounties; they're already showing a healthy return on their initial investment.
