Pam Brunson, Mike Caro and Alec Torelli will all be sweating under the weight of some fairly hefy bounties which will be placed on their heads. That’s because if you knock one of them out, you’ll be awarded $1,000. Defat two of them and you can expect to receive $10,000 and if you manage to eliminate all three, then you’ll be starting off the new year $50,000 richer. Plus you’ll have one hell of a poker story to tell your friends.

Knocking out any of these bounties won’t be easy though. Pam Brunson is often known as “Last Brunson Standing” due to her history of outlasting both Todd and Doyle both in the bounty and in some of the world’s largest events. Mick Caro is widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost authorities on poker and Alec Torelli is a member of the current Brunson 10 Pro and a WPT champ in his own right.
