How Knockout Poker works. Knockout Poker tournaments are special MTT and Sit & Go tournaments where the prize money is split, with a part going to the overall prize pool, and the other part distributed among players for each opponent they knock out. Unlike traditional MTTs and Sit & Go’s, you don’t need to finish in the money to earn a cash. Knockout Knockout tournaments (also known as Bounty tournaments) pay a cash prize for every player you knock out of the tournament. This cash prize is the 'bounty' on the player and is separate from the tournament's prize pool. Knockout prize – that prize is given for eliminating any player from the tournament. Players make an additional entry-payment that defines the knockout prize; Bounty prize – that reward is given for eliminating specific players from the tournament. Players do not pay the fee for this type of prize.

In Bounty and Knockout tournaments, the players are rewarded for eliminating other players. There are three major types of prizes:

• Knockout prize – that prize is given for eliminating any player from the tournament. Players make an additional entry-payment that defines the knockout prize;
• Bounty prize – that reward is given for eliminating specific players from the tournament. Players do not pay the fee for this type of prize. The reward is paid by the room;
• PRO Bounty Prize - sets up a reward for eliminating PRO-players from the tournament. Players do not pay the fee for this type of prize. The reward is paid by the room.

Here are some important things about the displaying of Bounty and Knockout tournaments in the client:

Progressive Knockout Poker Tournament

Poker Knockout Tournament

There are two types of knockout schemes: the standard one and progressive knockout. In case with standard knockout, the player receives full knockout prize of another player for eliminating him. However, progressive knockout is based on a completely different principle. In such tournaments, the player gets only a portion of the current opponent's bounty (usually 50%) for knocking him out, and the second part is added to his own bounty. Thus, the more opponents were eliminated by the player – the more players wish to defeat him. In the end, in addition to standard prize, the winner of the progressive knockout tournament receives a reward for himself.
