Players Brace for a Week of Intense Action as PokerStars Mystery Bounty Series Event Looms

Poker pros are preparing for one of the most highly anticipated online poker events this spring. The PokerStars Mystery Bounty Series returns in a few days, providing participants with many chances to participate in intense games and win amazing prizes.

The Tournament Will Offer Eight Days of Nonstop Action

The latest edition of the PokerStars Mystery Bounty Series will run from April 26 to May 4 this year. Each day of the event has many surprises in store, providing participants with chances to challenge their peers and be rewarded for it.

Speaking of rewards, the entire event features some $3 million in total guarantees. The prize pool has been distributed across some 55 tournaments that will take place as part of the PokerStars Mystery Bounty Series. Buy-ins for the various tournaments range from $5.50 to $215, providing opportunities for players with different risk appetites to enjoy playing.

One of the highlights is the $109 Main Event, which will boast a staggering $500,000 in guarantees. There will also be an $11 Mini Main Event with $100,000 in guarantees.

Players will have opportunities to make unforgettable poker moments since day one, as the first day of the event will kick off with a bang, initiating the action with a $75 Sunday Special event with $350,000 in guarantees.

Players Can Win Mystery Bounty Tokens by Eliminating Opponents

What’s special for the PokerStars Mystery Bounty Series is the titular Mystery Bounty format where players do not see the bounty values right away, adding a layer of mystery to the entire event.

Bounties are not awarded immediately, with the Mystery Bounty element kicking in only after the “In The Money” bubble bursts. This can happen at various points of the event, depending on how the tournament unfolds.

Once the mystery phase starts, players receive Mystery Bounty tokens for each player they defeat. They can then use this token to draw a random prize from a pool of rewards. In line with the idea of increasing the thrill of the game, prizes can vary significantly.
