Recap of the Weekend Action in GGPoker’s Bounty Hunter Series!
After roughly two of the best poker weeks of the year, GGPoker’s Bounty Hunter Series now enters its final week. It would be a shame to call this series anything other than a total success so far. The flights for the three biggest online poker tournaments has seen many players throwing their name into the hat competing for large bounties and eternal glory in the bounty hall of fame, and there’s still a whole week left of bounty goodness to take part of.
There are still many starting flights to participate in when it comes to the prestigious $210 MYSTERY BOUNTY Main Event. When day two starts November 6th, not only will we see a winner being crowned and with that earning legendary status as the superior bounty hunter, but we will also see which player will get his or hers hands on the humungous $500 000 top mystery bounty.
With all this action to look forward to, we can’t forget what we’ve already seen. This weekend saw many tournament being conquered by different players, but mainly, we saw the $50 Global MILLION$ Bounty Edition conclude, which has been one of the flagships tournaments with day 1 flights running from the very start of the series. Let’s dive in and see what happened this weekend!
Sr_Duck Wins Big!
Let’s start with the $50 Global MILLION$ Bounty Edition. This is the tournament that just couldn’t wait for the series to kick off, so a couple of flights were played before the official start date October 15th. A total 40 277 entries were made in the combined day 1 flights and 4 196 players advanced to day 2. The progressive bounty action saw players busting out left and right, and when all was said and done, it was Albanian player “Sr_Duck” who emerged on top after beating Finland’s “DonkersMcDonks” Heads-Up. For this feat, Sr_Duck not only claimed the first place prize of $52 862, but he also won an additional $36 084 in bounties, writing his final paycheck to $88 947. Huge congratulations, Sr_Duck!

In terms of higher stakes, we saw another tournament with a $630 Buy-In this weekend, the Super SIX HR. The tournament was played with a turbo structure and saw 80 players contending for the title. Here, it was GGPoker player “SenvintySync” who claimed the title and cashed $13 455 with roughly two thirds of that sum being in bounties.
As mentioned earlier, there’s still plenty of time to participate in day 1 flights for the Main Event. Even just one hour prior to day 2, a “Last Minute” flight will run. Of course, there are a lot of other tournaments the last week of the series, so no matter your bank roll, you will find a tournament that suits you.
Good luck in one last week of bounty hunting in GGPoker’s Bounty Hunter Series!
