What is a Knockout Tournament?

You are here

In poker, there's nothing quite as satisfying as busting another player out of a tournament.  We're proud to offer 'Knockout tournaments' where each player has a cash bounty on their head.

A Knockout tournament is a multi-table real money tournament.  Cash Prizes are awarded based on the number of registered entrants or on a guaranteed prize pool.  The player who busts out another player wins extra cash.

These unique tournaments place a part of the tourney buy-in into the main prize pool.  The other part is put into a special knockout prize pool.  For each player you knock out you'll receive a portion of the tourney buy-in.  For example, in a $5.50 buy-in tournament the buy-in is divided as follows:

  • $4 +
  • $1 Knockout +
  • $0.50 fee.

Each player you bust out will earn you $1.  These tournaments will have the word 'Knockout' in their name.
