Tournaments are being organized by the biggest poker rooms and always have several tables. All players get certain number of chips and when

playing. The winner is the player who is remained the last and there’s a ranking list where the prizes are given to the high ranking players.

Buy-in needs to be paid as well as in all other tournaments. A larger part goes into the prize fund, which is being shared between the parties, and the other a smaller part to the poker room as a compensation for participating in the tournament. The rules of Sit and Go tournaments previse that people share awards in the tournament. Normally are awarded the first two or three places.
