The second iteration of Event #59: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Super Turbo Bounty is set to kick off at 11 a.m. local time at the 2018 World Series of Poker. Last year, Sweden's Rifat Palevic triumphed over a field of 1,867 runners to earn his first career bracelet and the $183,903 top prize.
This is a single-day event. Each player will receive 5,000 starting chips and blinds will be 25/50 when play begins. Each level will be 20 minutes long and there will be a 20-minute break every six levels. Players will have a 75-minute dinner break after Level 19 at approximately 6:00 p.m.
Players will receive $300 from the prize pool for each knockout they score. Bounties cannot be redeemed until after the dinner break has concluded. Re-entry is not permitted, however, late registration will remain open until the end of Level 6 (at about 1:20 p.m.)
