Freezeout tournaments are the most traditional and widely recognized tournament format in poker. Each player begins with a fixed number of chips, and once they lose all their chips, they are eliminated—no rebuys, no second chances. This format mirrors the structure of most major live events, including the WSOP Main Event, and emphasizes survival, chip accumulation, and long-term strategy.

Freezeouts reward tight-aggressive play early and bold decisions late. They attract serious competitors who value pure skill over variance. On our platform, Freezeouts are fully customizable: operators can set blind levels, payout structures, table breaks, late registration windows, and guarantee sizes. This format is ideal for daily tournaments, series main events, and any serious competition.
