GGPoker has launched a new format called Ocean KO — progressive knockout tournaments where the bounty is multiplied by a random coefficient with each elimination.
Every player starts with a bounty equal to half the buy-in.
When you knock out an opponent:
- Their bounty is multiplied by a random multiplier (from 0.4x to 400x)
- Half the resulting amount is paid directly to your account
- The other half is added to your own bounty, determining your player level
Bounties are active from the very first hand (unlike Mystery Bounty).
Example for a $10 tournament (starting bounty — $5)
| Multiplier | To Account | To Own Bounty |
|---|---|---|
| 400x | $1,000 | $1,000 |
| 100x | $250 | $250 |
| 10x | $25 | $25 |
| 2x | $5 | $5 |
| 1x | $2.5 | $2.5 |
| 0.4x | $1 | $1 |
Player Levels
Based on the current bounty value, a player is assigned a level:
| Level | Bounty Size (of buy-in) |
|---|---|
| Egg | 0.5x |
| Fry | 0.6x |
| Fish | 0.7x |
| Shrimp | 1x |
| Crab | 1.5x |
| Turtle | 2.5x |
| Octopus | 5x |
| Dolphin | 10x |
| Whale | 20x |
| Shark | 50x |
| Legendary | from $10,000 |
Only the level of the eliminated player (not the eliminator!) affects the knockout prize.
