888poker Ontario Mystery Bounty Festival

Online poker players living in Ontario have a fantastic tournament series on the horizon, one with over $200,000 in guaranteed prize money. 888poker Ontario is hosting the Mystery Bounty Festival from March 17 through March 25, with every tournament played as an exciting Mystery Bounty event.

The 888poker Ontario Mystery Bounty Festival features some chunky guarantees, including one on the first day of the series. At 6:30 p.m. ET, the Mystery Bounty Opening Ceremony 109 shuffles up and deals. Buy in for $109, and you'll be vying for the largest slice of a cool $30,000 guaranteed prize pool.

The largest guarantee is an impressive $50,000, guaranteed in the Mystery Bounty Festival Main Event. This multi-day tournament costs $162 to enter unless you win your way into it via one of the many cut-price satellites. Day 1s will appear in the 888poker Ontario lobby from March 21 and run through to March 25, which is also the second day of action and when the mystery bounties are in play.

Players in the $50,000 Mystery Bounty Main Event are in for a treat because it has a superb blind structure. Every player sits down with 10,000 chips and plays to a 12-minute clock where the blinds start at only 30/60/7a. Late registration remains open for 160 minutes, during which time you can make unlimited re-entries if you wish.

Each Day 1 concludes at the end of the 17th level or when only 10% of the field remains, whichever comes sooner. Surviving players progress to Day 2 at 8:05 p.m. ET on March 25 with mystery bounties in play.

Eligible iGames conducted and managed by iGO are only available to those physically present in the Province of Ontario. 888Poker Ontario operates pursuant to an agreement with iGaming Ontario.
