 Poker
Bounty Tournaments
Becoming Extremely
Popular
"Absolute Poker
launches new bounty
tournaments that pay
online poker players
cash for every
opponent knocked
out" - that's the
latest announcement
from our friends at
Absolute Poker
As if Texas Hold’em
wasn’t intense
enough, America’s
favourite poker game
is about to get even
more cutthroat with
the launch of
Absolute Poker’s
Assassin Bounty
Tournaments.
“This is online
poker action to die
for,” stated David
Clainer, Senior Vice
President for
Absolute Poker.
“Just as we did with
the introduction of
Bad Beat Jackpot,
we’re making it
easier for players
to profit big from
Texas Hold’em
without necessarily
finishing in the
money.”
The popular online
poker site’s new
Assassin Bounty
Tournaments are just
like regular Texas
Hold’em matches but
with an additional
buy-in and an
enticing twist. An
extra buy-in is
attached to every
online poker
player’s head and is
released to the
player who knocks
them out.
Clainer notes that
since each
tournament puts a
price on every
player’s head, it’s
easier for online
poker fans to cash
in without
necessarily winning
a game.
Headlining Absolute
Poker’s bounty
tournament schedule
is a $200+9 Texas
Hold’em tournament
on Saturdays at
20:30 ET with a
guaranteed World
Series of Poker Main
Event seat on the
line. Of the $209
buy-in, $100 goes to
the prize pool and
$9 goes to the house
as an
industry-standard
tournament fee. The
remaining $100 is
reserved for the
bounty.
Every time the
winner of a hand
knocks a player out
of Saturday’s bounty
tournament, they’ll
secure the $100
bounty attached to
that player’s head.
With hundreds of
online poker players
seated in a typical
tournament, the
opportunity to win
thousands of dollars
is plentiful.
Online Poker players
looking to cash in
on Absolute Poker’s
bounty tournament
offering can win a
spot in Saturday’s
tournament from as
little as $4. In
addition to
Saturday’s headline
bounty event,
Absolute Poker has
also launched bounty
tournaments with
lower buy-ins
throughout the week.
