This is the cumulative buy-in amount from all Players in the tournament that is offered as prizes. The House may elect to add to the prize pool, at their discretion. Back to the top

The prize pool is a thing of beauty that is fought over by all the players in a tournament. The prize pool consists of the buy-ins (minus the house fee) for all players plus anything else that maybe added by the house, such as extra cash, WPT Boot Camp places or seats at the WSOP.

The Prize Pool is the cumulative amount of contributions paid by all participants in a tournament. For example, if a tournament buy-in is $5 + $.50, $5 is contributed to the prize pool by each player and $.50 is the entry fee paid to the house. If there are 100 participants, the total Prize Pool is $500 and that amount is distributed to the top finishers in the tournament. Rebuys and Add-ons, if permitted, also contribute to the Prize Pool.
