The only game in town

I've mentioned before my intention to avoid bounty tournaments like the plague. So why did I play one last night? For one simple reason; it was the only game in town :-) At the time I logged onto PokerStars, using my default search criteria, there was only one active tournament, and it was a bounty. I didn't feel like waiting around, so I entered it. I was glad I did, since it turned out to have the most monstrous prize pool of any tournament I've ever entered - $95,004,000. The first place payout was $13,232,000. I even made the money, though I didn't turn a profit.
