If you thought The Bounty at DoylesRoom couldn’t get any better, you’re wrong!
The Bounty is the best deal in poker where for a $27.50 buy-in, you get the chance to take on their bounties, the Legend, Doyle Brunson, “The Mad Genius of Poker”, Mike Caro, WPT champ and 2-time WSOP bracelet winner Hoyt Corkins and their weekly guest bounty. In addition to the tournament prize pot, they’re ponying up $25,000 in bounty cash.
Here’s a breakdown of what makes The Bounty so amazing.
1 – Bounty Multiplier: The DoylesRoom Bounty pays bigger than any other bounty tournament out there.
Knock out 1 bounty, get $500. Knock out 2 and get $5,000. Pick off all 3 and $25,000 cash is yours.

2 – Bounty Rebate: Just like it sounds, buy-in to The Bounty tournament for the first time and at the end of the tournament have your full buy-in returned to you win or lose!

3 – The 10/2 Challenge: Doyle Brunson won back-to-back WSOP Main Event World Championships holding the same two hole cards; the 10 and the 2. We challenge you to do the same. If you can knock Doyle Brunson out of the bounty tournament with 10/2 hole cards, they’ll give you a $1,020 bonus!

4 – Guest Bounty: Win the tournament and you’re invited to come back the following week and stand alongside our legends and pros. They’ll buy you in and put a $500 bullseye on your back.

5 – Final Table Rematch: The players that made the final table in the bounty will be invited to a rematch Sit N Go the following Monday at 9:30pm ET, where 1st place will be awarded an entry to their Super Saturday $250,000 Guaranteed tournament on September 27th at 4pm ET. ($165 value). 2nd place will receive 3 bounty entries good for the winner + two friends. 3rd place will be awarded 30,000 Loyalty Points.

Sit N Go your way to the Bounty – Sit n Go’s are basically one, two, and three table tournaments that once the seats are filled, the game begins. You can win your bounty seat in one of these for as little as $2.75 +.30
