The $1,100 buy-in Mystery Bounty PokerNews Cup at Golden Nugget Las Vegas has a $1 million guaranteed prize pool, and those reading this article can win a seat for free.

Play begins June 29 as part of the popular Grand Poker Series, an annual summer tradition at the downtown Las Vegas casino. Last year's event attracted 1,245 entries and was conquered by Gary Gelman, who took home $202,745. The pot cracked $1.2 million, making it the largest prize pool in Golden Nugget history.

This year, we're spicing things up even more by adding on the Mystery Bounty element to the tournament. For those unaware of how that works, the tournament runs just like any other bounty event, except the players don't know beforehand how much their bounty will be worth until they open an envelope that will have a mystery value. In this event, the top bounty award will pay $100,000.

Giving Out Free Seats to Golden Nugget Poker Players

Golden Nugget will pass out 100 free seats to its cash game players starting at 9 a.m. PT on June 24 and running right up until the tournament on June 29. The only way to win is to be playing cards at cash game tables inside the Las Vegas poker room during each drawing.

There will be 20 drawings daily done via the BRAVO random seat draw feature. If you win a drawing, you cannot sell or transfer the seat and must play in the PokerNews Cup, which is Event #78 of the series.

Should a player who has already won a seat win another drawing, a new drawing will take place. Please visit the Golden Nugget poker room for a complete set of rules.
