Bounty

A cash prize awarded for eliminating a specific player in bounty tournaments.

In depth

A bounty in poker is a cash prize awarded in bounty tournaments when a player eliminates a specific opponent. This reward is separate from the standard prize pool based on finishing positions, providing an immediate incentive for knockouts. Bounties introduce an additional layer of strategy by altering the risk-reward balance in all-in confrontations.
