What are Fifty50 tournaments?

Fifty50 tournaments use a 50/50 payout system.

  • The tournament ends when half of the players are eliminated
  • The remaining players receive prize money 

How does the payout work in Fifty50 tournaments?

The prize pool is split into two parts:

  • 50% is divided equally among all remaining players
  • 50% is distributed based on chip count

Players with more chips receive a larger share of the second portion.
