Mystery bounty distributions can vary by week.What happens when you find the big bountyMystery PKO is exclusive to the Winning Poker Network and combines a hidden mystery prize with a visible progressive bounty. During Day 2, half of each revealed mystery prize is paid immediately. The other half goes onto your head. Any accumulated progressive bounty on the player you eliminate follows the same 50/50 split.Find Moneymaker’s $100,000 mystery bounty, for example, and $50,000 is paid immediately while $50,000 is added to your progressive bounty. You have landed a major prize, and the table can now see another reason to come after you.That is why revealing the biggest mystery prize does not remove all of its value from the hunt. Part of it becomes a visible target for the next knockout.Your next bounty dateToday’s $500K GTD Turbo Tuesday Mystery PKO has a $630 buy-in and a $50,000 top mystery bounty. Next comes The Quattro’s first Sunday bounty phase on November 8, followed by Moneymaker’s November 22 finale.Choose the event that fits your bankroll, find a Day 1 in the ACR Poker lobby and build the stack you want when the bounties go live.
