$235 Black Chip Bounty
Day 1 Started
Run It Up Reno IX rolls on today with the $235 Black Chip Bounty tournament, kicking off at Noon local time in the Capri Ballroom, with a $35,000 Guarantee on the tournament to entice players to go bounty hunting.
For this $235, tournament, $100 of their buy-in will go into the prize pool, while the other $100 will be their bounty. Every player you knock out in the tournament is worth $100, unlike yesterday's $235 Progressive Bounty tourney won by John-Paul Portal, where bounties escalated throughout the day.
Players will start with 15,000 in tournament chips, and blind levels are 20 minutes in length, with breaks occuring every two hours. Registration and re-entry are open through the first nine levels, or until approximately 3:10 p.m. local time. This is scheduled to be a single day event.
Today's event will be featured on the Run It Up Reno Twitch channel, and you can catch action from this tournament here starting at 7 p.m. local time, with the action on a dynamic delay designed to edit out all the breaks and pauses in the tournament so viewers at home get nothing but action from start to finish.
PokerNews will be bringing you all the action straight from the tournament floor all day long, and will sync with the Run It Up Twitch stream once they make the final table. Be sure to tune in to watch the bounties go flying here at Peppermill Reno!
The $235 Black Chip Bounty is underway.
Level: 1
Blinds: 100/100
Ante: 100
