Three Massive Bounty Builder Series Main Events
No series would be complete without at least one main event; the 2021 Bounty Builder Series has three of them: two Hold'em and one Omaha.
All three kick off on October 17, the hold'em Main Event at 7:05 p.m. BST with the pot-limit Omaha Main Event starting slight more than an hour later at 8:15 p.m. BST.
Bounty Builder Series 164: $55 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO, Main Event - Low] comes with a cool $1 million guaranteed prize pool. Here, you sit down with 25,000 chips and play to blinds starting at 75/150/20a. Levels last 12-minutes for the first ten levels, before lengthening to 15-minutes thereafter.
Low Main Event players are permitted to purchase up to two re-entries while late registration is open, which lasts for three hours five minutes
The Bounty Builder Series 165: $530 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO, Main Event - High] comes with a $2,500,000 prize pool that is sure to get grinders tingling with excitement. High Main Event players sit down armed with 50,000 chips and start playing to blinds of 125/250/30a with levels increasing every 20-minutes throughout.
Up to four re-entries are allowed during the first five hours and 25 minutes.

Bounty Builder Series 166: $109 NLHE [6-Max, Progressive KO, PLO Main Event] is the tournament you want if you prefer four hole cards to two. This PLO Main Event comes with a prize pool of at least $100,000.
The structure is different to the NLHE Mains in that the PLO Main Event entrants start with an arsenal of 50,000 chips and play to blinds starting at 300/600 — there are no antes in this event. Levels last 20-minutes for the first three levels before reducing to 12-minutes until a champion is crowned.
Should your first $109 bullet not hit its intended target, you can make up to three re-entries during the first 2.5 hours.
