WPT’s Headhunter Challenge
WPT Online, Poker News December 5th, 2007Imagine the following: You are playing in a tournament, probably the best you’ve ever played, and have already beaten five other poker players. You’ve almost reached that unbelievable final table. You go all-in with pocket aces. But wouldn’t you know it! You take a terrible beat and leave with little more than you put in the buy-in.
In a Headhunter tournament, this would never happen. Why? Because you earn cash for every player you eliminate. Imagine - you receive a share of the prize pool even though you don’t make it to the final table!
Play in WPT’s Headhunter tournaments and you’ll come out the hunter, not the hunted in this jungle type atmosphere.
The Headhunter Challenge is an exciting, new type of multi-table tournament where a player wins cash for every player they eliminate. How is this accomplished? A portion of every buy-in is assigned to players’ “Heads”
The more players you eliminate, the more cash you win. On the flip side of the coin, however, the more you win, the bigger target you become to others - the value of your own head increases with every hand you win. It’s tough in the jungle! But the rewards are plentiful.
