Sit 'N' Go
Sit ‘N’ Go Tournaments are sometimes referred to as ‘Single Table Tournaments’. There will be a fixed number of seats offered in each tournament and the tournament only begins until all seats are full (there is no fixed time). The tournament is played until one player has won all the chips from the other players. The top finishers are given cash prizes based on the number of players registered for the tournament. If the tournament consists of multiple tables, as players are knocked out individual tables are ’broken’, this means that players are moved from one table to another in order to keep them full. Short Stack – players start with only 100 chips
