Tournaments

Tournaments can be played with chips that do not have a monetary value. A $200 winning pot can't be cashed out. These chips can't be used to score. If you are unable to quickly rebuy chips, you will automatically be eliminated from the tournament. Because of the time, it takes to expedite player elimination, the stakes are higher. Tournament buy-ins are a way to create a prize pool which is then split among the top players. There are many tournaments.
