888poker's bounty-exclusive series, The Knockout Games, has returned after a gap of one year.
Taking place from Sunday, November 26, and stretching for more than three weeks, the third iteration of the KO Games guarantees $1 million (or $1.5 million by our estimate) across 76 knockout tournaments.
True to its name, all tournaments adopt the bounty format, with half of the buy-in contributing to the regular prize pool and the remaining half serving as a bounty on each player’s head. The event lineup includes popular formats such as Mystery Bounty Tournaments (MBTs), Progressive Knockouts (PKOs), Super Knockouts, and Regular Knockouts — the latter two where the bounties are fixed.
