Huge Guaranteed Overlay
One of the best-value online poker tournaments of the summer is coming to WPT Global on Saturday, August 1. The Special Mystery Bounty Event (Overlay Guaranteed) combines an incredibly low ¥9 buy-in with a massive ¥1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool, giving players the chance to compete for life-changing prizes for little more than the cost of a cup of coffee.
The headline feature is the guaranteed ¥760,000 overlay. Unlike a traditional tournament overlay that only occurs if a guarantee is missed, WPT Global has already committed to contributing the majority of the prize pool. That means approximately $114,000 in added value is guaranteed before the first hand is even dealt, creating one of the softest value opportunities currently available in online poker.
Players will battle in the ever-popular Mystery Bounty format, where every knockout during the bounty stage can reveal a hidden cash prize. Alongside the guaranteed first-place prize of ¥200,000, the tournament also features a top Mystery Bounty worth another ¥200,000, meaning two separate prizes of around $30,000 are up for grabs.
For a buy-in of only ¥9 (approximately $1.25), players will be competing for a ¥1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool (around $150,000). With the field limited to 30,000 entries, demand is expected to be high as players look to capitalize on one of the biggest overlays WPT Global has offered during the WPT Asia Series Overdrive.
Whether you are chasing a huge Mystery Bounty, aiming for the guaranteed first prize, or simply looking for one of the best tournament values on the current online poker schedule, this special Saturday event is difficult to ignore. Opportunities to play for a six-figure guaranteed prize pool with such a tiny buy-in are extremely rare, and the operator-funded overlay makes the value even more attractive.
