7. The final level is played until the tournament winner is declared.
8. At the start of the poker tournament, you are dealt one card face up. The player receiving the highest card by suit (high – low: spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs) will get the dealer button for the first hand.
9. When only 2 players are remaining, the small blind has the button and will act first before the flop.
10. If a player who is the small blind is eliminated, the button does not move. This ensures the next player in order does not miss the big blind. If the player who is in big blind position is eliminated, the button moves and one player receives the benefit of not posting the big blind for that round. All players have an equal opportunity to benefit from this scenario.
11. Tournaments are played straight through until one player has all of the chips: No Breaks. So if inclined…make sure the beer and potato chips are handy.
12. When you lose all of your poker chips, you are out of the tournament and placed in the order that you were eliminated. ie. In a 10 player tournaments, if you are the 8th player eliminated you finished in 3rd place and will receive your portion of the prize pool of free poker chips.
13. If more than one player is eliminated in the same hand, the player that had the most chips at the start of the hand finishes in the higher placing. If the eliminated players had the same amount of chips at the start of the hand, the players will tie for the position. ie. If two players tie for 2nd place, the prize pool for second and third place are combined, each of the tied players receives 50% of the combined total.
