Try out Both Types of Knock out Tournament

A standard Knock-out tournament requires players to contribute a small amount of the required tournament buy in fee to the special bounty pot and when players are eliminated, a bounty is paid in the form of a cash prize to the person who succeeded in eliminating the player from the tournament.

The tournament becomes a thrilling multi-table poker ‘hunt’ which really gets the adrenalin flowing as you attempt to stay ahead of your opponents who have their eyes on you and the ever growing bounty sitting on your head.
