What would you do if there's a player below 5 big blinds and he has a big bounty? I tried isolating him for almost 5 hands but he always fold .

Depends how bad you want that bounty lol.

Just keep the pressure on them every chance you get with hands you are comfortable with. Keep in mind you are playing a tournament...is trying to bust a player with a sizable bounty worth possibly busting the tournament?

Definitely open wider if you have the chance to get it all-in against the bounty

Also attack wider when others are going after the bounty. For example if the short stack shoves with the large bounty and gets called by someone, reraise wider than you normally would so you have a shot at isolating the bounty with a lot of overlay.

Isolation and control, the secret of success in knockout tournaments :)

Don't waste your chips on one bounty, more players will call & you will end up fighting for your own survival. That's the biggest catch in KO tournaments.

Yup good advice, especially deep in tourneys I see too many people chasing min bounties and risking position.
