JackPoker Weekend Recap – Bounty Hunters & BigJack Extravaganza
Weekend at JackPoker offered plenty of Bounty action and big guarantees. Prize pools juiced with big bounties naturally attracted many players to join the action. Tournaments were played in every buy-in level but most attention received the daily Hunter -tournaments that shine especially bright during the weekends.
On top of the regular tournament schedule JackPoker featured few High Rollers and also $77 buy-in Sunday Big Jack Special with a $12 000 GTD prize pool.
To give you an idea what kind of opportunities are currently available, here’s a short recap of a few selected and most popular tournaments from the JackPoker’s arsenal.
Mega Hunter 400
Mega Hunter 400 is one of the biggest weekly High Rollers offered by JackPoker. As the name entails, buy-in of this tournament is a total of $400, of which $200 goes for the bounty. When money is good the heads will roll and so they did also this weekend. Tournament started 22:00 GMT and lasted around 3 hours and 50 minutes with 54 total buy-ins, raising the prize pool up to $19 440 dollars.
The regular prize pool was divided with the top 6 players in the tournament and over $10K shared for all who managed to reap knockouts. Biggest winner of Mega Hunter 400 was alias “cuaru24” , banking $3 024 for the 1st place and $4 350 from bounties. The 2nd best player, alias “add9432”, did not make the heads roll with the same volume as many other top players but being in 2nd position did bring the player $1 900 cash prize and $625 in bounties. Third place, player “Vencedor1979” did a successful run as a headhunter, taking home total $2 946 of which $1 650 was from bounties.
Big Hunter 150
Big Hunter 150 follows the same structure as other Hunters where 50% from the buy-in goes to bounty. Like Mega Hunter 400, with 75 total buy-ins worth $150, the tournament lasted 3 hours and 47 minutes. During this time players competed from a total prize pool of $10 687 and all top 9 players managed to at least double their money.
The biggest winner of the tournament, alias “paolford”, took home a huge payday by winning a total of $3 728,74. The other in the top 3 managed to win also over $1 000+ each. So not bad for a under 4 hour grind.
Mini Hunter 5
Mini Hunter 5 might only be $5 buy-in tournament but as always low-stakes with big payouts tend to lure in bigger crowds, especially during the weekends. Here total buy-in count reached 338 and with more players the tournament lasted also bit longer but thanks to JackPoker’s bounty tournament structure players only had to grind for 4 hours and 30 minutes until all the winners got their share from the total prize pool of $1 530 dollars. The winner of Mini Hunter 5, “MeikyLove”, banked with one re-entry over $350 and good second, “TechniCPradi” over $150.
Sunday Big Jack High Roller
The “main day” on any online poker room is usually Sunday and so it is at JackPoker also. This time, one of the “big ones” was not a bounty tournament but a regular $200 buy-in NLHE Sunday Big Jack High Roller that offered a plentiful total prize pool of $20 000 GTD. From the 91 etrants all in the top 10 had a nice ride where they managed to more than double their money in little over 4 hours. Biggest $6 000 payout went to “Bimyyzz582” and second “fabiopcfoz” bagged $4 000.
Sunday Big Jack Special
Best GTD/Buy-in ratios were offered in the $77 Sunday Big Jack Special with $12 000 GTD prize pool luring in total 160 entrants. When the battle was over after 5 hours and 6 minutes plenty of prize money was shared between the top 10 players. Player “zeromrTH” came out on top and win the first place of $3 240. Other big winners were players: vValmor915 ($1 920), shefinuts ($1 200), DavidNalbandian ($960), and limar14 ($840).
