How to Win One of 100 Mystery Bounty PokerNews Cup Seats at Golden Nugget for FREE

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

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.

PokerNews Cup Tournament Details

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.

Coussement Takes From Asadabadi; Ingram Now Among Leaders

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was heads up with over 80,000 in the middle and 2108 on the board when Miguel Coussement shoved his last 65,000 and Arash Asadabadi called.

Miguel Coussement: 54
Arash Asadabadi: AA

The board finished up 105 and Coussement turned a flush draw to take a big chunk from the former chip leader.

Simultaneously on an adjacent table, there was 30,000 in the middle and a board of AJ8 when Joey Ingram check-called a 7,000 bet from his opponent. Both players checked the A turn and the river was Q. Ingram fired 20,000 and turned over A3 when his opponent called. Trip aces were good enough and Ingram's opponent tossed the losing hand in the muck.
