GGPoker: $100M Bounty Hunters Series, New Ocean KO Format, $40M APT, and $7.5M Regular Promotions

The Bounty Hunters Series schedule features tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $8.88 to $1,500. Here are the biggest events, two of which use the new Ocean KO format:

October 12 — $5 Ocean KO Opener $1M GTD [Day 2]
October 19 — $25 Ocean KO $2M GTD [Day 2]
October 26 — $108 Mystery Bounty Main Event $5M GTD [Day 2], with 10 lucky players winning a $100K bounty each

Ocean KO: How the New Tournament Format Works

Ocean KO combines elements of PKO, Mystery Bounty, and slots.

There are 14 player levels, ranging from Egg to Legendary Shark. Every player starts the tournament at the Egg level.

When you eliminate an opponent, you receive a bounty as in a regular PKO tournament, multiplied by a random multiplier ranging from 0.4x to 400x. The multiplier is determined by a random wheel that activates after you eliminate an opponent. In 92% of cases, the multiplier will be 0.4x, 0.5x, 0.7x, or 1x. The chance of hitting the 400x multiplier is 0.002%.

Half of the final bounty amount is credited to your account immediately, while the other half is added to your bounty. The higher the eliminated player’s level, the higher the potential bounty.

Knockouts count from the very beginning of the tournament, just like in regular PKOs. The jackpot can drop on any knockout.

$40M APT Series

The Asian Poker Tour Online starts on October 11 and runs through November 1. The schedule features 20 trophy events, with buy-ins ranging from $56 to $5K. The main highlight is that the biggest tournaments start at 12:00 & 13:05 UTC.

150% Reload Bonus Up To $3,000
