Weekly Golden Bounty Prize from WPT Global Achieves Enhanced Guaranteed Awards
The World Poker Tour (WPT) Global's Weekly Golden Bounty tournament has recently concluded, with a total prize pool of $257,200 and a minimum guaranteed prize of $250,000. The tournament, which is a multi-day progressive knockout event, attracted over 11,307 players, surpassing the initial expectation.
The winner of last week's tournament remained anonymous, as the specific name was not disclosed in the available sources. However, the champion walked away with a significant prize of $19,423, including bounties.
The tournament, which costs $25 to enter, offers a unique structure. Each player starts with a 10,000 starting stack and plays to a 10-minute clock. Players can re-enter up to ten times on each of the $25 buy-in flights up to the end of the 12th level. Chip stacks of players who navigate to Day 2 more than once are combined and carried forward. Play concludes when only 11% of the field remains or when Level 20 is reached.
New players depositing $10 or more receive a $16.20 gift package. This package includes a $5 poker deposit match bonus, a $5 casino deposit match bonus, a $2.20 MTT ticket, a $1 Global Spins ticket, and $3 in Casino Coin. The first deposit is matched 100% up to $3,000. The size of the deposit affects the rewards received; details are provided in a table.
Half of the bonus is released at the online poker tables at a rake of $1 cashback for every $4 contributed to the cash game rake or paid in tournament fees. The remaining half is released by playing at WPT Global's casino; $0.50 is returned for every $200 wagered. Casino players also receive free Casino Coin based on their first deposit; details are provided in another table.
