Tournament Poker

A mystery bounty tournament awards hidden-value prizes for qualifying eliminations, usually after a designated phase begins. The prize is revealed when claimed. Bounty values, the activation point and the claiming process depend on the event structure.

Example of Mystery Bounty:
The bounty phase begins on Day 2. You eliminate an opponent and claim a mystery prize, discovering that the elimination pays $500.
