WPT Global wanted to stand out, this time when with its PKOs. So, it raised the stakes with its Weekly Golden Bounty. Players sit down for just $25 for a shot at a guaranteed $250,000 prize pool. This kind of value that usually requires a hefty buy-in, but here it’s turned into a weekly event that attracts thousands of entries.

The event is set up like this: multiple Day 1 flights throughout the week, each one packed with bounties right from the first hand. Knock a player out, and you’ll pocket at least $5.68. Make it through to the end of the flight (when either 11% of the field remains or Level 20 is reached) and you’ll carry your stack forward to Day 2 on Sunday.

The Weekly Golden Bounty: How to Get There

Now that you have a basic idea about what the Weekly Golden Bounty is, we should get into a little more detail about the promotion. For one, each flight gives players a 10,000 starting stack and blinds ticking up every ten minutes. Players can re-enter up to ten times per flight until the end of Level 12, with multiple entries allowed.

That was Day 1. If you qualify for Day 2 more than once, your stacks are combined and carried forward to Day 2.

An Alternative Route: Weekly Golden Bounty Satellites

There’s is also a satellite path available for those players who don’t want to invest in the $25 flights. Qualifiers starting at just $1.50 are running throughout the week.
