The forthcoming PokerGO Tour Bounty Blitz series features six events at the PokerGO Studio at ARIA in Las Vegas. Three of PokerStake’s finest are already selling packages to the events on offer, and we’ve got all the details.

With buy-ins of $5,300 (reduced to $5,100 for on-time attendance) for each event, the half-dozen events are sure to feature plenty of exciting players and pay out top prizes in the six-figure range.

Cherish the Value

Six events, each taking part on the first six days of September. The PokerGO Tour is sure to thrill fans with the PGT Bounty Blitz series, where five unique bounty events, including a standard knockout, an escalator, a quattro, a progressive knockout, and a mystery bounty variant are played out.

It’s impossible to ignore the first player of our trio taking on the PGT Bounty blitz festival. Cherish Andrews is selling at a markup of either 1.18 or 1.20 to Events #2, #3, #4 and #5. With all the events being in No Limit Hold’em, Cherish is a player who will regularly win money in these such events, as exampled by the two cashes she posted in the PokerGO Cup back in February, winning $153,000 after coming 3^rd and 6^th.

With unlimited re-entries and two days for each event, the structure and the entry fees suit Cherish perfectly. What’s unique to this series of events is that in each event, $2,000 from each player’s entry is set aside for the bounty prize pool. The two events Cherish isn’t selling to – Event #1 and Event #6 – are both standard knockout tournaments with each elimination earning the winning player in the hand $2,000.

Every Little Helps

Another stalwart of the PokerStake stable, Jonathan Little,is selling to all six events, with a minimal markup of just 1.05. Jonathan is well-versed in all bounty formats and has even coached others for these unique situations on his coaching channels for years. Let’s take a look at the individual formats for each event.

In Event #2, the ‘escalator’ format pays out bountied of three different values that escalate as the tournament goes on. Eliminating players during late registration is worth $500, while post-reg bust-outs earn the winning player $1,000. Once the last remaining table after the bubble is reached, the counties are adjusted to the prize pool that remains.

In Event #3, a Quattro format, bounties start being awarded when 25% of the field remains, each one being $8,000. The following event, #4, is a Progressive Knockout (PKO) where each bust-out earns the player half the bounty paid out in cash, while the other half is added to their bounty value. Event #5, meanwhile, is a Mystery Bounty event where the second-highest bounty prize will be reserved for the final table.

Jonathan’s set of six events represent huge value for anyone looking to back a bankable winner, especially in PGT events. A former 2024 PokerGO Cup winner, Jonathan also won the fourth event of last year’s Poker Masters for $226,800, at a final table including Isaac Haxton and Sam Soverel.

Uptick for Uvaydov?

David Uvaydov will be hoping to boost his profile yet further after a breakout year in which the American came second in the $1,500 NLHE Monster Stack, banking $802,346 as runner-up in the 9,920-entry event. Uvaydov, who is selling to Events #2, #3 and #4 at no markup at all, will tick past the $2 million mark in live tournament earnings if he banks even $12,000 at the series. The American cashes seven time

During the PGT Bounty Blitz, the PGT shot clock will be in operation, where players will have 20 seconds to act on their hand pre-flop, and 30 seconds post-flop. Each time extension chip is worth a further 30 seconds each, with players remaining six time extensions if the enter the tournament before the first break.

The PGT Bounty Blitz forms a part of the 2025 PGT season, with players banking PGT points should they cash in any of the half dozen Bounty Blitz events. Battling towards the top 40 guaranteed qualification positions on the PGT leaderboard, every one of the PokerStake players taking part will want to make the season-ending PGT $1m Championship, with a top prize of $500,000. Last season’s PGT $1m Championship was won at the top of the year in 2025 by PokerStake’s own Jeremy Ausmus.
