While players wait for the grand GGPoker vs PokerStars Sunday Smackdown in March, ahead of that fierce battle, the two giants will go head-to-head again with their respective bounty tournament series.
GG was the first to announce its flagship knockout series, the Bounty Hunter Series (BHS) by advertising it as a $30 million guaranteed festival. GGPoker’s PKO tournament makes its long-awaited return after 16 months and is only the second time the operator will host a series dedicated entirely to the crowd-pleasing progressive knockouts.
On the same days that GGPoker is running its Bounty Hunter Series, rival PokerStars slots in its own knockout series, the Bounty Builder Series (BBS). The BBS guarantees over $25 million in prize money and will make a recurrence after four months.
Both series will take place on exactly the same dates — February 27 – March 13 — completely overlapping, start to finish. Although both the series have adopted the same format, the size and stature of the two are quite different.
As per PRO calculations, the GGPoker’s BHS series actually promises $27.6 million, as opposed to the $30 million advertising on the operator’s website. This is spread over a staggering 435 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $5.25 to $1050.
