Tournament Types
Do you want to play in the world’s biggest online poker room? In the
biggest tournaments? For the biggest🍇 prize pools? Well, you're in the right place. We
run the most tournaments, in the most poker variants, in the🍇 most tournament types.
You’ll find links above to explanations of all of our different tournament options,
from Sit & Go’s🍇 to Multi-Table Tournaments, to Satellites. Click here to find
Tournaments available to play right now. How poker tournaments work All🍇 players start a
standard poker tournament with the same amount of chips. As play goes on, the
compulsory blinds and🍇 antes increase at regular intervals, and when a player loses all
of their chips, they are out of the tournament.🍇 The last player standing is declared
the winner, and is rewarded with the biggest portion of the prize pool. How🍇 to play in
one of our tournaments You can find tournaments listed under the Tourney tab (desktop),
or under the🍇 Tournament tab accessed via the Lobby (mobile). Other types of tournaments
can be found under the relevant tabs, such as🍇 Sit & Go or Spin & Go. Selecting any
tournament allows you to find out everything you need to know,🍇 from the game being
played to the buy-in, structure, and also whether registration is open. Click
‘Register’ to play the🍇 tournament. In all of our tournaments, each player is assigned a
random seat and table. In games with a rotating🍇 dealer, the dealer button will start on
seat 1. Players are only given a certain amount of time to act🍇 - if you take too long,
a reminder will appear and you may also be given the option to activate🍇 the ‘Time Bank’
to get some extra time to think. Clicking on the ‘Info’ tab in the table window allows
🍇 you to find out up-to-date information about the tournament - such as your current
position and the average chip stack.🍇 More detailed information about the tournament can
be seen in the tournament lobby. Poker Tournament Money (T-Money) With rare exceptions,
🍇 if you win a seat to an event via one of our satellite tournaments, you can choose to
unregister and🍇 receive T-Money instead. T-Money can then be used to register for other
tournaments. Please note that T-Money is not the🍇 same as real money, because you can’t
use it in cash games or withdraw it. You can check your T-Money🍇 balances at any time by
clicking the ‘Cashier’. On some occasions, we may need to unregister you from a
tournament🍇 on your behalf. If you find that you need us to do this, visit our Help
Center to find out🍇 ways to contact us, and we will be happy to assist you. Don’t forget
to provide the ID number of🍇 the tournament that you want to unregister from.
All-in
Shootouts
In an All-in Shootout, every player is automatically put all-in on every🍇 hand
until there is a winner. Once registered, players do not need to be logged in to take
part, as🍇 there are no gameplay decisions to be made once the tournament begins. All-in
Shootouts are notably different from all other🍇 poker tournaments, as no gameplay takes
place – tickets are often distributed as part of promotions, with every participant in
🍇 an All-in Shootout having identical odds of winning the advertised
prizes.
Fifty50
‘Fifty50’ is a type of one-table Sit & Go tournament.🍇 In a Fifty50 Sit
& Go, the event ends when half of the entrants have been eliminated. For example, in🍇 a
8-player Fifty50 tournament, 4 will be paid. Half of the prize pool will be distributed
equally among the 4🍇 winners, and the other half of the prize pool will be distributed
among those same 4 players based on the🍇 chip count percentages at the end of the event.
The 5th-8th place finishers win nothing. So, in a 8-playerR$10+$1 Fifty50,🍇 the prize
pool isR$80. Each of the final 4 finishers would receiveR$10 each, plus a percentage of
the remainingR$40 in🍇 the prize pool. You can find Fifty50 tournaments on desktop under
the ‘Sit & Go’ tab. Select ‘Fifty50’ from the🍇 Variant filter. On mobile, search for
‘Fifty50’ in the ‘Sit & Go’ tab accessed via the Lobby.

To calculate the

the total chips in play (4,300/12,000), a total ofR$14.33. Adding the returned buy-in
🍇 awarded to each player who cashes results in Player 1’s total prize amount ofR$24.33
($14.33+$10.00). As a formula, an individual’s🍇 payout would be expressed as:
The
Fifty50 tournament lobby displays the approximate amount per 100 chips to be paid out
when🍇 the tournament ends. The value displayed in the Fifty50 tournament lobby is
rounded down to the nearest cent, but payouts🍇 are calculated so that the entire prize
pool is paid out. Note that the final payouts may experience small rounding🍇 differences
in order to ensure that the total payouts equal the prize pool.
Guaranteed
Tournaments
In many of our cash tournaments, the🍇 prize pool is guaranteed to reach a
specific amount. Regular guarantees range fromR$25 toR$1,000,000. To see the full range
of🍇 these tournaments, visit the ‘Tourney’ lobby and enter 'GTD' in the tournament
filter.
Heads-Up Tournaments
Also called a 1-on-1 tournament, players in🍇 a Heads-Up
tournament are matched in pairs and play a ‘bracket’ tournament until there is only one
player left. Just🍇 as in other Shootout tournaments late registration is not allowed in
Heads-Up tournaments. For most Heads-Up Multi-Table Tournaments, the time🍇 limit for
unregistration is five minutes (as opposed to two minutes in most other tournaments).
Please check the Tournament Info🍇 window for details regarding unregistration from any
specific tournament. There may not always be a number divisible by the power🍇 of two (2,
4, 8, 16, 32, 64) registered for a particular Heads-Up tournament, which is necessary
to fill a🍇 'bracket'. When this happens, not all players will be able to play the first
round and will receive a ‘bye’.🍇 For example, if 10 players enter a Heads-Up tournament,
there would be more than 8 but fewer than 16 players.🍇 In order to play the tournament
out properly, the tournament will first need to be brought down to 8 players.🍇 In order
to get the number down from 10 to 8 players, 4 players will play (thus eliminating two)
and🍇 6 players will get a ‘bye’ and are automatically in the quarter-finals. We offer
Heads-Up tournaments with byes and without🍇 byes. This is clearly marked if you click
the ‘Tournament Info’ button in the tournament lobby. If a tournament does🍇 not allow
‘byes’, the last players to register may have their buy-ins returned in order to get
the event to🍇 a starting total of players which is a power of two (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64
etc). In the🍇 above example (with 10 players entered), the last two players to register
would not get to play, as 8 is🍇 the nearest power of two which is less than 10. Many
Heads-Up tournaments have a ‘Show Bracket’ button in the🍇 lobby where you can see a
visual representation of how the matches will play out.
Hyper-Turbo
A Hyper-Turbo event
is one in🍇 which the blind levels increase extremely quickly – even faster than in a
Turbo tournament. The length of each round🍇 (before the blinds/antes increase) in a
Hyper-Turbo tournament is usually 3 minutes. Hyper-Turbo satellites are a great way to
quickly🍇 win your seat in an event just a few minutes before it begins.
6-Max and
4-Max
‘6-Max’ in the tournament's title indicates🍇 that at each table there will be 6
seats, instead of the usual 7 to 10 (depending on the game).🍇 We also offer '4-Max'
events with 4 seats at each table. Some poker variations are always played with 6 or
🍇 fewer seats at the table. Examples are 8-Game Mix and Deuce to Seven (2-7) Triple Draw.
Please note that in🍇 4-Max tournaments, the final table will form when 5 players remain.
This is done to remove the inequity of having🍇 one table play 3-handed and the other one
heads-up.
Multi-Stack Tournaments
An interesting, fun variant of rebuy tournaments,
Multi-Stack tournaments see each🍇 player’s starting chips divided into equal-sized
smaller stacks. Each player then decides how many of the available stacks they want🍇 to
start with, and how many to keep in reserve for later. A player can reload (add
available remaining stacks)🍇 later. The total number of available stacks for each player
is posted in the tournament lobby and is the same🍇 for all players in that event. There
is no additional cost for adding an available stack. For example, a player🍇 in a
Multi-Stack tournament may have five stacks of 1,000 chips available, for a total of
5,000 chips. At the🍇 start of the tournament, that player may choose to play with the
minimum of one stack (1,000 chips), or can🍇 choose to add any or all of their four
remaining stacks at that time. During the tournament, a player can🍇 choose to add
remaining stacks at any time by clicking the ‘Add Stacks’ button on the table, or ‘Add
Chips’🍇 in the dealer tray or ‘Options’ menu. These buttons will only be visible if
stacks are still available. Note: Stacks🍇 will be added at the end of the current hand;
they will not be in play during the current hand.🍇 If a player loses all of their chips
in play, they will be offered the option to add any remaining🍇 stacks, and will be
required to add at least one stack. If only one stack remains, it will be automatically
🍇 added. Once a player loses all of their chips in all of their stacks, they are
eliminated from the tournament.🍇 A limited amount of time will be available for players
to add available stacks, as specified in the tournament lobby.🍇 Any stacks which have
not been added by the end of that time will automatically be added to each player’s
🍇 chip total. You can see how many stacks a player has available by scrolling over their
name in the lobby🍇 player list, or by scrolling over the ‘stack’ symbol by their seat at
the table. If no symbol appears by🍇 a player’s seat, they have used all of their
available stacks.
Multi-Table Tournaments
In a Multi-Table Tournament (MTT), players
start with an🍇 equal, fixed number of chips. Players at numerous tables compete for one
another's chips as the blinds and/or antes increase🍇 incrementally. When you run out of
chips, you are eliminated from the tournament. As players are eliminated, tables are
‘broken’,🍇 meaning players are moved to keep tables full, or evenly ‘balanced’.
Eventually, the last few surviving players with chips are🍇 brought together at the final
table, where the winner is the individual who wins all the chips from his or🍇 her
opponents. Cash prizes are awarded to top finishers based on the number of tournament
entries.
PokerStars Mystery Bounty
PokerStars Mystery Bounty🍇 is a type of poker
tournament where players have a chance to win Mystery Bounties in addition to the
regular🍇 prize pool. PokerStars Mystery Bounty tournaments have an initial stage and a
final stage: Initial stage – players cannot win🍇 Mystery Bounties during this
stage.
Final stage – players will win a Mystery Bounty for every player they knock out
during🍇 this stage, which will usually start when the money bubble bursts. More details
about when this stage will start can🍇 be seen in the tournament lobby. A part of the
tournament buy-in for PokerStars Mystery Bounty events goes towards the🍇 regular prize
pool and another portion contributes to the Mystery Bounty prize pool. See the
tournament lobby for more information.🍇 There can be up to nine different tiers of
Mystery Bounties, with the highest tier offering the top prize, and🍇 lower tiers
offering lower-value prizes. If you knock a player out during the final stage of the
tournament, you will🍇 receive one of the remaining Mystery Bounties. Players can win
multiple Mystery Bounties – one each time they eliminate a🍇 player during the final
stage. Players can win multiple Mystery Bounties with one hand if they knock out more
than🍇 one opponent. They will win a Mystery Bounty for each player they eliminate during
the hand. If a player is🍇 knocked out in a chop hand, all the winning players will split
the Mystery Bounty equally. Players can monitor which🍇 Mystery Bounty prizes are still
available in the ‘Tournament Info’ widget.
Phased Tournaments
A Phased tournament is
one in which some number🍇 of levels at the beginning of the tournament are played
non-concurrently from the end of the tournament, for different groups🍇 of players.
Players can choose from different starting phases that begin at different times. Each
starting phase will play the🍇 same amount of time, and then all remaining players will
later combine in a single, larger tournament. Phased tournaments allow🍇 the schedule
flexibility normally associated with smaller-field tournaments, while still enjoying
the large prize pools associated with larger-field tournaments. Chip🍇 counts at the end
of Phase 1 will be carried over into the next round. For example, a tournament might
🍇 have Phase 1 on Friday at 12:00, another Phase 1 on Saturday at 12:00, and then
conclude with a Phase🍇 2 tournament on Sunday at 12:00. Entrants would play for a
specified number of levels (or until elimination) on Friday🍇 and/or Saturday, and all
players that survive would combine to finish the tournament at 12:00 on Sunday. When
you enter🍇 a Phased tournament, you must ensure that you will be available to play in
the future phases, as you cannot🍇 unregister from Phase 2 (or beyond) in Phased
tournaments. Phased tournaments allow for multiple entries into the first phases. For
🍇 example, if you play Phase 1 and are eliminated, you may enter another Phase 1 and
start again at the🍇 beginning. You cannot qualify for the next round more than once, so
if you survive Phase 1, you will then🍇 be unable to enter another Phase 1 leading to the
same Phase 2. Note that if you survive Phase 1🍇 with even one chip, you will still
advance to Phase 2, and will not be able to play another Phase🍇 1. Most of the
high-profile tournaments seen on TV are essentially Phased tournaments, with the entry
phases usually referred to🍇 as Day 1A, Day 1B, Day 1C, etc.
Progressive Knockouts
In
Progressive Knockout tournaments, a cash bounty is placed on every entrant🍇 in the
tournament. So, each time you knock out an opponent, you win a cash prize. But there’s
a twist:🍇 you win part of the eliminated player’s bounty immediately, but some of it is
added to YOUR bounty (usually 50%).🍇 As you eliminate more players, your own bounty
becomes bigger and bigger, making you a preferred target for other bounty🍇 hunters. Most
Progressive Knockout tournaments put half of your buy-in into the prize pool, with the
other half as your🍇 own starting bounty. There are exceptions to this, most notably in
the ‘Saturday Special’ editions of the Bounty Builders tournaments,🍇 where 25% of your
buy-in goes into the prize pool and 75% is your starting bounty. Most Progressive KOs
work🍇 like this:
50% of the buy-in goes to the prize pool
50% of the buy-in funds each
player’s initial bounty
50% of the🍇 bounty is progressive, meaning that when you knock a
player out, you pocket half of their bounty value, with the🍇 other half added to your
own bounty value.
Rebuy Tournaments
A Rebuy tournament is one in which you can buy more
chips🍇 during the event. In a standard ‘freezeout’ tournament, when you run out of
chips, you're out of the tournament. In🍇 a Rebuy tournament, you can (with some
restrictions) buy more chips. Here are some facts about Rebuy tournaments:
There is a
🍇 ‘rebuy period’ at the beginning of the tournament. A typical rebuy period might be the
first hour of the event🍇 (until the first break starts). Once that period is over, no
more rebuys are permitted.
During the rebuy period, there may🍇 be a fixed number of
rebuys available, or an unlimited number.
If you run out of chips, you will
automatically be🍇 offered a rebuy (if one is available). At any time when you have
chips, you can click on the dealer🍇 tray and select the ‘Add More Chips’ option to
rebuy. If you're not eligible for a rebuy (because you've reached🍇 the maximum number of
rebuys, or because there is a maximum number of chips where rebuys are allowed), you'll
get🍇 a message to that effect.
In general, you may rebuy using the ‘Add More Chips’
button in the dealer tray any🍇 time your stack is less than or equal to the starting
chip stack. This means you can rebuy once before🍇 the tournament even starts.
The rebuy
may cost any amount, but generally costs the same as the original buy-in, and gets🍇 you
the same number of chips that you got for your original buy-in.
In general, you may
rebuy using the ‘Add🍇 More Chips’ button in the dealer tray any time your stack is less
than or equal to the starting chip🍇 stack. This means you can rebuy once before the
tournament even starts. The rebuy may cost any amount, but generally🍇 costs the same as
the original buy-in, and gets you the same number of chips that you got for your
🍇 original buy-in. There may also be an ‘add-on’ available at the end of the rebuy
period. Typically, this will be🍇 during the first break. An add-on is just one extra
rebuy. The add-on will not be automatically offered to you.🍇 To take the add-on, wait
for the message ‘Players are now on break’. Click on the dealer tray and select🍇 the
‘Add More Chips’ option. In general, the add-on is available no matter how many chips
you have.
The add-on may🍇 cost any amount, but generally costs the same as the original
buy-in, and gets you the same, or higher number🍇 of chips that you got for your original
buy-in. The prize pool and payoffs will not be announced until the🍇 rebuy period ends,
since the prize pool increases with each rebuy.
Note that many of the rules described
above are ‘typical’🍇 or ‘normal.’ We make every effort to clearly state any deviations
from typical rules, but the exact details for each🍇 tournament will always be posted in
the tournament's lobby or under the ‘Tournament Info’ tab in that lobby.
Re-entry
Tournaments
A Re-entry🍇 tournament is one in which you have the opportunity to enter an
event again after you have already been eliminated.🍇 In Re-entry tournaments, when you
lose all your chips you will be offered the ability to re-enter immediately. If you
🍇 choose not to re-enter at that time, you can still register normally from the
tournament lobby any time during the🍇 late registration period. Multiple entries at the
same time are not allowed. Re-entry tournaments are similar to Rebuy tournaments, but
🍇 with a few differences:
When you lose all your chips in a Re-entry tournament, you are
eliminated from the event and🍇 receive a place in the finishing order.
In a Rebuy
tournament, when you rebuy you keep your seat. In a Re-entry🍇 tournament, you will
receive a new seat, and will be seated like any other new player, usually ending up at
🍇 a different table.
Tournaments sometimes allow players the opportunity to re-enter more
than once. To find out how many re-entries are🍇 available in a tournament, navigate to
the ‘Home’ tab in the tournament lobby.
Re-entries will show in the tournament
standings with🍇 the number of that entry next to the ID of the player. For example, if
'Username' enters an event three🍇 times, his entries would show in the finishing list as
'Username', 'Username' [2], 'Username' [3]. Note that a Re-entry tournament🍇 may limit
the number of times you can re-enter. This number will be noted in the tournament
lobby. Once you🍇 have used up the allowed number of re-entries, you will not be allowed
to play again in that event.
Satellites
A satellite🍇 is a tournament in which the prize
is an entry into a larger tournament. It can be less expensive to🍇 enter a satellite
than it would be to enter the main tournament directly. We run one-table and
multi-table Sit &🍇 Go satellites, which you can find under the ‘Sit & Go’ tab.
Multi-table satellites are scheduled as regular tournaments, and🍇 the sign-up details
and play are identical to other Multi-Table Tournaments, with one important difference
– the tournament will only🍇 play down to the number required to award all of the
equal-value seats. You can find these MTT events under🍇 the ‘Tourney’ tab (mobile) or by
selecting ‘Satellite’ from the ‘Type’ filter in the ‘Tournaments’ desktop lobby. Here's
an example🍇 of how a satellite works: The buy-in for the larger tournament isR$200. The
buy-in for the satellite isR$20. If there🍇 are 10 entrants (into the satellite), first
place will get aR$200 entry to the larger tournament. If there are 20🍇 entrants, then
1st and 2nd places will both receive aR$200 entry to the larger tournament. If there is
any leftover🍇 prize money, it will be distributed to the runners up as per the
satellite’s payout structure, which is available through🍇 the tournament lobby. If there
is a fee to enter either a tournament or satellite, it will be denoted by🍇 stating the
buy-in amount and the entry fee. A cost of ‘$30+$3’ indicates that the buy-in isR$30,
and the entry🍇 fee isR$3. TheR$30 goes to the prize pool which the players compete for,
while theR$3 entry fee is taken as🍇 compensation for hosting the tournament. In most
tournaments which are named, the buy-in and fee is combined for the sake🍇 of brevity in
the title. For example, the above-mentioned tournament, if it is a satellite to the
Sunday Million (for🍇 example), would likely be named ‘Sunday Million:R$33 satellite’.
Detailed information on the breakdown of buy-in plus entry fee is shown🍇 in the
tournament lobby.
Shootouts
A shootout is a special kind of Multi-Table Tournament.
Normally, when you play in a Multi-Table tournament,🍇 players are moved from table to
table to balance the number of players at each table. Eventually, the last remaining
🍇 players end up at the ‘final table.’ In a shootout, no such table balancing is done.
You remain at your🍇 original table until only one player is left standing. If you win
that table, you advance to another table and🍇 repeat the process against players who
each won their first table. In a DOUBLE SHOOTOUT, you need to win two🍇 tables to win the
event, although often there is some money for everybody who reaches the final table.
Each starting🍇 table is played to its conclusion and the final table is formed of the
winners of the first round matches.🍇 For example, a full Stud Double Shootout might
start with 8 full tables, a total of 64 players, in Round🍇 1. Each of those 8 tables
would play down to one winner, and the 8 winners would then be brought🍇 to a second
table for Round 2, where they would play until there is one winner. In a TRIPLE
SHOOTOUT,🍇 you must win three tables to win the entire event (again, there may well be
some prize money distributed along🍇 the way). For example, assuming a standard (9
players per table) triple shootout is full, in Round 1 the 729🍇 players will be placed,
9 per table, at 81 tables within the tournament. Each table will play until there is
🍇 one player remaining with all of the chips from that table. The 81 remaining players
will then be moved to🍇 9 tables for Round 2. As in Round 1, each table will play until
one player has all of the🍇 chips from their table. Finally, the 9 remaining players will
advance to the final table for Round 3, where the🍇 winner of the tournament shall be
determined. Note that this whole process could be extended to quadruple shootouts and
so🍇 on. Also, the tables don't necessarily have to start at nine players each. For
instance, in the past we have🍇 offered triple shootouts with four-player tables (a total
of 64 players in each event). Also note that if a shootout🍇 is not filled to capacity
when it begins, some of the tables in Round 1 could have more players than🍇 others. Late
registration is not available in shootout tournaments.
Sit & Go
A Sit & Go (S&G or SNG)
is a tournament🍇 which does not have a pre-assigned start time; it simply begins when
all the seats are filled. There are many🍇 types of Sit & Go, ranging in size from
heads-up to 990 players, in both satellite and cash tournament form.🍇 These tournaments
can be found by clicking on the ‘Sit & Go’ tab in the main client lobby window.
Spin &
🍇 Go
A Spin & Go tournament is a type of Hyper-Turbo Sit & Go that gives players a chance
to play🍇 for a prize pool that is much bigger than a tournament buy-in would indicate.
Each tournament has only three players,🍇 and before a Spin & Go begins, there is a
random draw to determine what the prize pool will be.🍇 Spin & Go’s are available in a
range of different buy-ins. You will find these tournaments under the ‘Spin &🍇 Go’ tab
in the lobby (desktop) or the ‘Spin & Go’ tab accessed via the Lobby (mobile). Learn
more about🍇 Spin & Go tournaments.
Spin & Go Max
This variation on Spin & Go tournaments
(see above) adds more players, more variety🍇 and more ways to maximize your winnings. As
with traditional Spin & Go’s, these tournaments have a hyper-turbo structure and🍇 a
randomized prize pool, but introduce a couple of other variables. Spin & Go Max
tournaments use a randomizer to🍇 set the number of players in the tournament, as well as
(in most cases) a choice of three first-place prizes;🍇 the eventual winner chooses their
prize blindly from the three available. Tournaments with more players and higher prize
pools will🍇 pay more places, and if you’re playing for the top prize (up to 10,000 times
the buy-in) you won’t need🍇 to pick it from the three available - the winner will
receive it in full automatically. Finally, after a set🍇 number of hands the tournament
will enter ‘All-in Mode’, where every player is automatically put all-in until there’s
a winner.🍇 Learn more about Spin & Go Max tournaments.
Splash
A Splash tournament is a
special kind of Turbo Rebuy tournament (usually a🍇 satellite) in which the levels
increase at turbo speed, but the rebuy time is 90 minutes in length. The available
🍇 chips – including the starting stack, rebuy, and add-on – are tailored to each event.
Check under the ‘Tournament Info’🍇 button for detailed structure info.
Time Tourneys
A
Time Tourney is a special kind of tournament which has a pre-set duration. The🍇 time for
the event is indicated in the tournament name and in the tournament lobby. At the end
of the🍇 set amount of playing time, the event will stop and all remaining players will
receive a distribution of the prize🍇 pool based on their ending chip count. Time
Tourneys are indicated by a ‘clock’ symbol in the tournament lobby. Time🍇 Tourneys are
offered throughout the day in durations of 15, 25 and 45 minutes of playing
time.
Turbo
A Turbo event is🍇 one in which the blind levels increase much faster than in
standard play. The length of each round (before the🍇 blinds/antes increase) in a Turbo
tournament is usually 5 minutes (as opposed to the standard 10 or 15), though there🍇 are
some turbo events with 6-minute rounds. Turbo rebuy events usually go on break at 30
minutes, as opposed to🍇 60 minutes in a standard rebuy event.
Win the Button
Win the
Button is a tournament format that awards the winner of🍇 each pot with the dealer
button. Some Win the Button tournaments switch to normal button movement in the later
stages🍇 of the tournament. Check the tournament lobby for more information.
Zoom
In a
Zoom tournament, you can fold your hand and immediately🍇 move to a new table with new
opponents (selected randomly from the entire pool of players who have entered the
🍇 tournament). You can even use the ‘Fast Fold’ button to fold before it’s your turn to
act. This makes it🍇 a fast poker format, as you don’t have to wait around for each hand
to play out before playing the🍇 next one. See the Zoom page for more on how it works.
Note that in Zoom tournaments, when the player🍇 pool gets small, with only the last few
tables remaining, the tournament reverts back to a normal freezeout format.
