What's more exciting than playing poker online with players from around the world? Playing against them in tournaments! What's an online poker tournament? It's actually very simple; All of the players who join a tournament start out with an equal amount of chips and they play until one player has all of the chips. At regular intervals, the blinds and antes are raised, making the pots larger and the play more intense. There are two main types of tournaments; Single-Table and Multi-Table. Single-Table Tournaments take place at just one table. As soon as all of the seats are occupied, the tournament starts. Multi-Table Tournaments are scheduled in advance of the tournament start and players must register in order to participate. As the tournament progresses, and players are eliminated, the tables are consolidated.
