$2K Mystery Bounty Carries $1M Guarantee on June 19

A $2,000-buy-in Mystery Bounty with a $1,000,000 guarantee is set for June 19 at 6 PM PT — the biggest non-WSOP guarantee currently listed on the Las Vegas schedule.

The Details

The event is No-Limit Hold'em with a mystery-bounty format, meaning a portion of each buy-in funds a bounty pool distributed through randomized envelopes awarded for eliminations. At a $2,000 price point, the tournament needs 500 entries just to meet the seven-figure floor — assuming a standard rake — making the guarantee a genuine commitment by the host property.

Mystery bounties have surged in popularity across major summer schedules since 2022, but a $1M guarantee at a $2K buy-in remains uncommon outside the WSOP's own mystery-bounty bracelet events. For context, the WSOP's $1,500 Mystery Bounty (Event #16 in 2025) drew 8,839 entries and generated a $12.3M prize pool — but that event ran across multiple starting flights over several days.

A single-day, single-flight structure at $2,000 sets a higher bar for the guarantee to be met in one shot.
