The Lone Star Poker Series Champions Social Event #13: $600 Lone Star Surprise Bounty saw 109 entrants create a $55,590 prize pool, nearly double the advertised $30,000 guarantee.

The tournament assigned mystery bounties to certain players, meaning whoever knocked them out received a sealed envelope with an unknown amount of money. $10,000 in added bounty money was added to the tournament! Among those to have $300 bounties on their heads were Lone Star champs Laura Hoppe and Josh Burkhalter, Twitch streameer Alex "Optional" Green, former UFC fighter Heath Herring, and Poker Hall of Famer Dewey Tomko, among others.

Bounties aside, players were still competing for big money in the prize pool. Linh Dinh was seeking his second title of the series after winning Event #10: $400 NLH Double Black Chip Bounty for $2,306, but he came up one spot shy finishing runner-up to Logan Hewett of Basile, Louisiana. Hewett earned a nice payday for $15,566 for his victory.
