The side game on Saturday night is the Mystery Bounty game. $200 from the $600 buy-in goes to the bounty pool, with the bounties starting when players are in the money and the average bounty set at $600.
The rest of the bounty numbers will be set once the prize pool is determined, based on the percentages below. While there are 2 big bounties of 20%, one of them won’t go into the barrel until they get to 2 tables remaining at 18 players

| 2 | 20.0% |
| 1 | 16.0% |
| 1 | 11.0% |
| 1 | 7.5% |

The game kicks off at 4 PM on Saturday afternoon, and the starting stack is 25k. Blinds are 25 minutes throughout the game, and players can buy in for the first 10 levels of play.
That should put the final chance to buy a stack at about 9:40 PM, after which, they’ll play to a winner.
In January of this year, Brad Bishop was best out of 457 for the top share of $229,175 in combined prizes. Last October, Quinn Kannekens made it through to the top spot from 395 entries ($203,425 in combined prizes).
This game traditionally plays pretty late, so players jumping into it should expect to be at the tables until 4 AM or later.
