The final day of Run It Up Reno VIII has a tournament many online pros will be familiar with, but very little, if any, exposure in the live realm, with a $235 Progressive Bounty tournament with a $10,000 guarantee at 1 p.m.

All players will start with a $100 bounty on their heads, and any time you score a knockout, half of your opponent's bounty will be paid out to you, while the other half is added to your own bounty. If the bounty cannot be divided equally, the extra chip will be rounded into the bounty payout.

Players start with 15,000 in tournament chips, and levels are 20 minutes in duration up until heads-up play begins, where the levels will become 10 minutes in length. Registration and re-entries are available through the first nine levels.

How high will the bounties get by the time a winner is crowned? Join the action at 1 p.m. and find out!

Remember, a $5,000 guaranteed, $125 Turbo Deepstack tournament closes out the action for Run It Up Reno VIII at 6 p.m. as well.
