The PokerStars and Barcelona©Casino European Poker Tour is about to kick off the €3,000 - #38 - EPT Platinum Pass Mystery Bounty (€1,000 Mystery Bounty) - Unlimited Re-Entry today at 3:00 p.m.
The three-day event at Casino Barcelona should be an exciting one with the bounties adding a sweat factor. €1,000 of the buy-in will go toward the bounty pool while €1,716 will go into the regular prize pool.
Players will begin with a starting stack of 30,000 chips in exchange for their buy-in. Levels will last 40 minutes in duration with blinds beginning at 100/100/100.
Day 1 will play for twelve levels and late registration will close at 12:30 pm on Day 2, which kicks off Thursday, August 18 at 1:00 p.m., meaning players will have to register before Day 2 begins.
The bounty component of the tournament will take effect at the start of Level 13 and all remaining players will receive a Mystery Bounty Token. Any time after 5:15 p.m. (the second break), players can take any collected tokens to the Mystery Bounty desk to draw an envelope.
Another exciting bonus is that there is a PLATINUM PASS ADDED - WORTH $30,000 and a RED SPADE PASS ADDED - WORTH $18,000 added to the bounty prizes.
The second and final day of the tournament will play down to a winner, who will take home the trophy and the biggest cut of the prize pool.
