Channel that inner Rocky Balboa<\/strong> and prepare for a few knockouts. The PokerStars<\/a> Bounty Builder Series<\/strong> returns Feb. 2-16<\/strong> with some big bucks on the line.<\/span><\/p>\n Last year\u2019s Halloween-themed series awarded $36 million<\/strong> in prizes. That total surpassed the guaranteed prize pool by more than $11 million<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n The upcoming series also has a $25 million<\/strong> guaranteed across 180 progressive knockout events<\/strong>. Players around the world will be ready to bring their A-game.<\/span><\/p>\n Players looking for some bang for the buck will enjoy plenty of knockout action. Those new to a progressive bounty tournament are in for some fun.<\/span><\/p>\n A bounty is placed on everyone taking part in a tournament. In a traditional bounty format<\/strong>, players can win some bonus cash<\/a> every time they eliminate an opponent.<\/span><\/p>\n Progressive KO<\/strong> (or bounty) events add something extra to the mix. The victorious player doesn\u2019t get to keep all the bounty he\u2019s won.<\/span><\/p>\n A portion (usually 50%<\/strong>) is added to his own bounty, and the player progressively becomes a bigger target.<\/span><\/p>\n Many players will be looking forward to the $530 buy-in Main Event<\/strong> on Feb. 16<\/strong>. The event has a huge $2.5 million guarantee<\/strong>, an increase from the October series\u2019 $2 million<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n During that series, \u201c<\/span>bananero17<\/strong>\u201d topped the standings as the knockout king. He came through with an impressive 392 knockouts<\/strong> and earned $12,500<\/strong> in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n The series features big guarantees and bounties in abundance. It\u2019s perfect for players who love action-packed, competitive tournaments with some fun added value<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n With buy-ins that range from $1.10 to $5,200<\/strong>, players of every bankroll can get in the bounty action. Satellites<\/strong> are also available into many events \u2013 starting at less than a dollar<\/strong>. There will also be $4 Spin & Go\u2019s<\/strong> available for those looking to earn their way into an event.<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s a look at just a sampling of some events on the schedule players of all level may want to check out:<\/span><\/p>\n\n Channel that inner Rocky Balboa and prepare for a few knockouts.
