What are Multi Table Tournaments?
Multi Table Tournaments are large-scale poker tournaments which can have a virtualy unlimited number of players. Everyone buys in for the same fee, and all players receive the same number of chips. Participants are split at random across as many tables as necessary, and as players are eliminated, the number of tables slowly shrinks down to one. At this 'final table' the tournament continues until one player has all the chips in play. Players are paid out according to where they finish, not how many chips they have at any given point.
