Freeze-Out Tournament ( poker )


A tournament in which players start with a specified amount and then can buy no further chips;
once they lose their chips, they are out, as opposed to a re-buy tournament. The tournament continues until one player has all the chips. As players are eliminated, they may receive prizes based on the order of their elimination.

For example, the final remaining player may win 50% of the prize pool, the next-to-last 25%,
the third 10%, and so on. Also called no- rebuy tournament. Compare with shootout tournament.
