What's Up for Grabs?

donpeters

With each player ponying up $25,000 for the buy-in, the prizepool is pretty hefty despite getting a smaller turnout of only 35 players. Each bounty you earn gets you $5,000 and by winning the first table, a player will receive either $50,000 or $60,000, depending on whether your table started with five or six.

Making it to the final table will mean you're playing for the remaining bounties and also $330,000 winner-take-all prize.
