WPT Global Golden Bounty Championship
Some weekly events find their rhythm the moment the guarantee changes. After WPT Global lifted the Golden Bounty Championship to $250,000 guaranteed, the first running topped the mark with 11,307 entries and a $257,200 prize pool.

How The Golden Bounty Championship Works

It's a pretty simply concept really. The Golden Bounty Championship is a progressive-knockout phase event. Players enter $25 Day 1 flights offered throughout the week; survivors reconvene for a single Day 2 on Sunday, with bounties paid during the open-flight stage and the larger prizes settled in the final. 

Week-One Numbers And Payout Shape

Week one at the new guarantee didn’t just hold; it exceeded the target. Reporting shows 11,307 entries for $257,200, with the champion earning $19,423 including bounties and the runner-up $14,787, a distribution typical for a PKO finish.

So, what are you waiting for? It's time to start playing!
