Beginning Sunday, August 3, ACR Poker will add Daily Mystery Bounty events to its daily tournament schedule, offering buy-ins ranging from $66 to $630 on the online poker client.
The Mystery Bounty format will give players a crack at picking up Mystery Bounty chests for each knockout after the money, with the top prize set at 10% of the total prize pool.
Moorman's Mayhem scheduled every day
"Mystery bounties are just pure fun," ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker said in a press release. "You never know what you're going to get when you knock someone out; it could be some random treasure or a monster bounty that flips your whole tournament. With same-day events, fast action and bounty madness on our daily calendar, it keeps the adrenaline going and makes every hand way more exciting."
Each day will offer several options in the new format, starting with the $150K Major Mash Up and its $66 buy-in. The $250K Sunday Funday will offer a $215 buy-in, and the $100K Moorman's Mayhem is at the top of the range with a $630 buy-in.
Mystery Bounty action will continue into the Dual Venom tournaments from August 10 through August 26, with $2,650 buy-ins and $8 million guaranteed for the no-limit version. A $500K top bounty lurks in that one, while a $200K bounty waits in the PLO, which will have a $2 million guarantee of its own.
Mystery bounty events bring a new dynamic to tournaments and while they might not be for the purists, they can bring a level of excitement that you just don't see anywhere else — as seen in a recent live stream that you can check out below.
