PS Mystery Bounty

Mystery Bounties

• NT$4,500 from each buy-in will go towards the bounty pool.
• Mystery Bounties will come into play once players have reached ITM (in the money).
• Players can only draw Mystery Bounties during any scheduled break unless they have been eliminated.
• All unclaimed Bounties must be redeemed before the Final Table begins.
• At the Final Table, Mystery Bounties will be claimed as soon as a player is eliminated.
• Players who share a pot where a Bounty is won will split the Bounty.
• Note: Placing a Bounty Chip into the pot signifies that the player is all-in.

Levels

• Day 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D will be 25-minute levels; Day 1E will be 15-minute levels.
• All Day 1 flights will continue until 15% of the field remains.
• Day 2 will be 40-minute levels and will play down to a winner. The blinds for Day 2 will reset to the level at which the earliest Day 1 flight concluded.

Re-entry

• Unlimited re-entry is allowed before the close of registration.

Payouts

• Approximately one in seven entries (15%) will be in the money.
• Note: Players must make Day 2 to be in the money.

Best Stack Forward

• Players with multiple stacks qualifying for Day 2 will use only their largest stack.
• Any additional stacks will be eliminated from play but still qualify for a minimum prize payout and a bounty draw ticket for each additional stack removed from play.

Shot Clocks & Time Banks

• Shot Clocks will be implemented throughout the tournament.
• Each player has 20 seconds to act on their first decision and 30 seconds on any subsequent decision (15 seconds throughout for Turbo).
• Players receive 2 time bank cards worth 30 seconds each (15 seconds for Turbo) at the time of taking their seat, one additional time bank card at the end of every break and one additional time bank card at the start of every subsequent day.

Seating & Re-draws

• Play, where possible, will commence 9-handed and move to 8-handed on Day 2.
• Seating re-draws will be conducted prior to the start of Day 2, and at 24 and 9 players remaining.

Transition To Hands-per-level At Final Table

• Upon reaching the final table, the tournament will transition from a timed level structure to a hands-per-level structure. This means each level will consist of a predetermined number of hands rather than a fixed time duration.
• After completing the set number of hands for each level, the blinds will increase according to the published blind structure.

Rules

• Tournament Directors Association (TDA) rules will be used.
