Bounty Hunter Days will make its latest stop at Grand Casino Aš, and offers plenty for everyone: a packed room, fun formats, and plenty of mid-stakes action that punches well above its weight. From August 13–17, players will be treated to a full slate of events ranging from €60 satellites to a spicy €400 high roller, all building toward the crown jewel of the schedule — the €230 BHD PKO Main Event.
Quirky Formats and Fan Favorites
One of the reasons Bounty Hunter Days continues to thrive is the variety of formats on offer — and this edition won’t disappoint either. For players looking to mix it up from standard No-Limit Hold’em, the Crazy Pineapple event on August 14 provides a dose of chaos and creativity.
With an €80 buy-in and a €5,000 guarantee, the Crazy Pineapple event caters to those ready to peel back the madness. For those unfamiliar, players receive three hole cards and discard one after the flop — which makes for wild post-flop action and massive blow-ups. This one lived up to the hype, with plenty of laughs, busted flushes, and big hands clashing all the way to the end.
Add in daily bounty tournaments like the Noon Bounty and Friday Night Bounty, plus the creative Barista Rebel Cup, and there is never a dull moment on the side schedule. The diversity in formats keeps the series fresh and appealing to recreational players and grinders alike.
High Rollers and Bigger Stakes
For those looking to play deeper and swing harder, the schedule also features a couple of standout higher buy-in events. Chief among them is the €400 Mayoman’s PKO High Roller, which will take place on August 15 and boasts a juicy €40,000 guarantee.
With a structure tailored for aggression and strategic bounty hunting, the high roller draws a tough crowd — regular crushers, traveling pros, and a few satellite heroes looking to spin it up. As expected, play will be sharp with this event drawing the best and brightest players of the region.
Even players who couldn’t fire in the high roller had shots to get in via a €70 satellite offering ten guaranteed seats, keeping the field accessible and competitive.
The Main Event and the New Champ
Last year’s €230 BHD PKO Main Event drew 655 total entries across five starting flights, smashing the €150,000 guarantee for a final prize pool of €158,655. The format gave players multiple shots across Day 1 flights — including turbo entries — and drew a healthy mix of regulars and newcomers looking to bag a stack.
Niklas Schmidt made the most of his run, carving his way through the field to secure the title and a total haul of €19,249, including €15,054 in prize money and €4,195 in bounties. Schmidt and Germany’s “AstroBoy” cut a deal heads-up, with AstroBoy pocketing €13,235 plus €2,005 in bounties for his efforts. It was a fitting finale to a lightning-fast final day that saw all 88 returning players already in the money, leading to nonstop action and fast-paced eliminations.
