The bounty hunting action returns to PokerStars In October. The Bounty Builder Series is back Oct. 11-25 with a $30 million guarantee.
That’s a $5 million increase from the site’s last Bounty Builder, which was held in February. Players are in store for a packed schedule with 213 events and buy-ins ranging from $1.10 to $1,050.
Huge PokerStars Bounty Builder schedule with double main events
This becomes the largest Bounty Builder Series to date. For the first time, PokerStars is giving more players the opportunity for two Main Event experiences.
Those tournaments are set for Oct. 25 and features a total of $3.5 million guaranteed across the two events.
The $55 Main Event comes with a $1 million guarantee. Players in the $530 Main Event will be treated to a guarantee of $2.5 million.
Along with No Limit Hold’em, players will find Omaha variations, HORSE, Eight-Game Mix, and even 6+ Hold’em.
Checking out some series highlights
Players of every bankroll will find something to interest them in the Bounty Builder knockout action. Those with smaller bankrolls are in store for some nice events including these highlights:
- $11 NLHE (Oct. 11) – $115, 000 guaranteed
- $55 NLHE (Oct. 15) – $250,000 guaranteed
- $1.10 NLHE (Oct. 17) – $7,500 guaranteed
- $22 NLHE Heads-up Turbo Zoom (Oct. 22) – $75,000 guaranteed
- $11 NLHE (Oct. 24) – $125,000 guaranteed
Those with bigger buy-ins will also find plenty of action. That includes 23 events with a buy-in of $530 and six priced at $1,050. A few highlights include:
- $1,050 NLHE Sunday Warm-Up Special Edition (Oct. 11) – $300,000 guaranteed
- $1,050 NLHE Super Tuesday Special Edition (Oct. 13) – $200,000 guaranteed

- $530 NLHE (Oct. 18) – $225,000 guaranteed
- $215 NLHE (Oct. 22) – $250,000 guaranteed
These are just the tip of the iceberg and it should be a nice two weeks of action for PokerStars players around the world.
Satellites, promotions, and more on bounty tournaments
Those looking to get in the Bounty Builder action have numerous options. Players can win entry to the series via satellites Spin & Go’s from $0.11 to $4.
These events will be awarding various Bounty Builder Series tickets throughout the festival including $530 Main Event entries.
What makes a bounty tournament so much fun? With a bounty on everyone taking part, each player can win cash every time they knock an opponent out.
There’s a twist however. The victorious player doesn’t get to keep the entire bounty. Instead, a portion (usually 50%) is added to his or her own bounty, meaning they progressively become a bigger target.
Here’s a look at the complete schedule:
