Headhunter Tournaments

“We put a price on every head!”

Does this sound familiar...?

Scenario : You're in a tournament, playing the best poker of your life and you've already knocked out five players. You're almost at the final table and now find yourself all-in with pocket aces...

Outcome : To your horror, you take a horrible beat and walk away with only a few cents more than your buy-in!

Disaster! It's happened to all of us at some stage but it doesn't have to be like that here at InterPoker. We want to reward players for adopting an aggressive style of poker and that's why we are delighted to bring you our fantastic new Headhunter Tournaments!

In our amazing Headhunter Tournaments you earn cash for every player you eliminate. Plus you still receive your share of the prize pool when you make it to the money!

How to play

The Headhunter Challenge is a new type of multi-table tournament where a player truly becomes a hunter and wins cash for every player they eliminate. A portion of every buy-in is assigned to players' “Heads”. Anyone who knocks a player out of the tournament will receive cash. The more players someone eliminates, the more cash they win - and the bigger a target they become - as the value of their own head increases with every head they take!

STANDARD SETTINGS
Prize pool 50% heads/
50% pool
Head prizes 75% cash/
25% head increase

All players who enter a Headhunter tournament pay the same buy-in + entry fee. The prize pool is then divided, with a portion being allocated to heads, and the rest going towards the standard prize pool. The standard Headhunter tournament will award 50% of the prize pool based upon heads that are knocked out and 50% as the regular prize pool.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1. Choose Your Headhunter Tournament

In the Main Lobby, click on the ‘MULTI TOURNEY’ tab. Headhunter tournaments can be easily identified by the unique “HH” icon displayed on the left hand side of the tournament listing.

LOBBY ICON:

Select a Headhunter tournament that has a status of Registering by double-clicking the tournament which will bring up the Tournament Lobby. To enter the tournament, click on the Register button. The ‘Bounty Info’ tab displays Headhunter statistics such as the number of heads collected in the tournament, the value of these heads and the total prize winnings, all of which are updated as the tournament progresses.

Step 2. Start Playing

Game play is the same as any other multi-table tournament, however just after registration closes. The player Info Box displays how much each player's head is worth in the lower right corner. Knock that player out, and collect a portion of his head value (standard is 75%) and increase the price on your head!

Step 3 Tournament Results

The tournament continues until one player wins it all. If you have collected any heads, the value of these heads will be credited to your account after the tournament has finished. If you have finished in the money, your share of the prize pool will also be credited to your account. Should you win the tournament, you get your own head value in addition to the value of the heads you collected, as well as the first place prize!

Splitting Heads?

There is no splitting of heads in a Headhunter tournament. If a player is eliminated by two or more players who split the pot, the value of his head is awarded to the winning player with the largest stack. If the stacks are equal, the winning player closest to the button collects his opponent's head.

With so much excitement waiting for you, there has never been a better time to hunt your way to glory! Whatever tactics you use on our Headhunter tables - make sure you don't to lose your head!
