The
GGPoker in the WSOPC Event #16: $840 Bounty Hunters Championship.
In addition to the ring, players are also competing for a large chunk of change with at least $1 million guaranteed to be in the prize pool.
The event kicks off at 7:05 p.m. BST (2:05 p.m. EDT) with players starting off with 25,000 in chips worth 125 big blinds during the opening blind level. Players will have plenty of opportunities to build a monster stack with unlimited re-entries permitted during the 195-minute late registration window.
Blinds will increase every 15 minutes for the first dozen blind levels. After that, the pace will speed up with 10-minute blind levels until the final table is reached, at which point GGPoker s final table rules will take over. Blinds will be pushed back at the final table so that the average stack is at least 40 big blinds and blinds will increase a certain number of hands instead of by time.
