WSOP Adds Mystery Bounty Gold Bracelet Event to Online Schedule

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) has added a Mystery Bounty Gold Bracelet event to its online schedule. The Mystery Bounty tournament will take place on June 25th at 6:30pm ET. The top Mystery prize is set at $20,000, with 2x $5k prizes, 10 x $1k, and a total of $10k in other bounties.

The change will only affect Michigan and Pennsylvania players, for whom the $100k GTD, $500 buy-in Mystery Bounty event replaces the old $400 buy-in Progressive KnockOut tournament. Players play 17 levels of 15 minutes each before the Mystery Bounties kick in, with the Bounty half of the prizepool separate from the traditional 50% of the prizemoney.

The Mystery Bounty event slots into the once-per-week bracelet events hosted by WSOP in Michigan and Pennsylvania, the schedule running from June 4th to July 16th. This year’s live version of the Mystery Bounty at the World Series of Poker sees event #3, the $1000 buy-in Mystery Millions, kick off on May 31st. The top mystery bounty prize is guaranteed at $1million, the same amount as the 1st place prize. This year’s Main Event kicks off with day 1a on July 3rd with a new world champion expected to be crowned on July 17th.
