Either way, this should have a positive effect on a good player's ROI.

In a sense, this bounty is the overall payout structure of the tourney flatter, which in general would have a negative effect on good players' ROIs, right?

The knockout bounty seems to create two separate prize pools:
- The effective buyin for the tourney itself is the full buyin minus the typical bounty of ~20-25% of the entry fee.
- The knockout bounty then goes into a separate prize pool.

Good players should be able to exploit this dichotomy to have higher ROI on their effective tourney buy-in.

(Also, good players win more flips on average than bad players and should have a higher ROI from the knockout bounty side pool.)
