2026 Aussie Millions Event #7 $1,650 Bounty Feature Event

[ Posted January 20th, 2026 ] by contract

The Bounty event was always going to attract a big field and with big fields comes big payouts. It was most likely because of the format of the event has been like no other I’ve heard of. Here are some of the differences in this one…

* 20 second time to act. If a player does not act within the allocated time frame then their hand is declared dead. There are no time extensions until the final table, where extensions will be allocated

* Each starting table will host a “bounty” player who, if a player knocks them out of the tournament then they will recieve $1000 AUD from the prizepool

* Play will be as usual until there are 32 players left in the tournament, after this point the clock will rewind one full round, and each table will play (shootout style) until there are 2 players at each table left.

* When the final table starts, the clock will then rewind again to the level of play in which the 2nd of the 4 final tables was made.

Saidal Wardak ended up taking this one down. Here are the final payouts:
