In no time at all, it has spread all over the live poker world and excited thousands of players: well, the Mystery KO is now available on Winamax. In this even more exciting and unpredictable version of the Knockout format, there's no need to wait until the end of the tournament to get the biggest bonuses!
A Mystery KO tournament is divided into two distinct phases:
Introductory phase: The tournament starts like a regular tournament (i.e. non-Knockout). You must protect your chips, avoid being eliminated, and of course, grow your stack. In this phase, eliminating a player does not earn you a bonus. Don't worry: it won't last!
Mystery phase: The fun can begin! Once you reach the Mystery Phase, you will receive a bonus for each player eliminated. However, what has changed compared to a regular tournament is the amount of the bounty. The amount of money you win is not set in advance - it's random and drawn live! That's right, in a Mystery KO tournament, it's possible to get the biggest prize possible long before the final table.
Depending on the type of tournament you are playing, the Mystery phase starts at a different time:
Flight tournament (with multiple Day 1 flights): the Mystery phase begins at the start of Day 2.
Classic Tournament (with only one Day 1 flight): The Mystery phase begins as soon as you enter the money, immediately after the bubble.
