Rebuy

Buying more chips after losing your stack during the rebuy period of a tournament.

In depth

In tournament poker, a rebuy allows a player to purchase additional chips after losing their entire stack during the designated rebuy period. This option is only available within a specific timeframe and applies solely when a player has been eliminated by losing all their chips. Unlike freezeout tournaments, rebuys provide an opportunity to continue playing without permanent elimination.
