Throughout the month of November, 2011, Intertops Poker will be holding a series of bounty tourneys called Knock Out Challenges. During these events, rather prizes will be awarded not just for finishing in the money in the overall event but for knocking out your competitors as well. Unlike other bounties where only select, usually celebrity or pro players have bounties on their heads, in these Knock Out Challenges, every player has a bounty on their head, including you.
Part of the buy-in for an Intertops Poker Knock Out Challenge, $2 from each $5 + $0.50 buy-in to be exact, is applied toward the bounty on your head and your opponents as well. In addition to these bounties, all of which you get to keep, with no limit on how many you can rank up regardless of how you finish in the general competition, there’s also a $1,000 guaranteed cash prize pool at each of these events.
What’s more, besides just winning money for doing well in the overall competition and for knocking your fellow players out of the running, you’ll also win money for knocking out more competitors than anyone else. For each player you eliminate from the tourney, you get 1 point in addition to your bounty money. Intertops Poker keeps track of how many points each player earns in each tourney on a Headhunter leaderboard, with $1,000 up for grabs for the top 10 finishers on this leaderboard, the top finisher getting $300 and the 10th spot earning $20.
