Partypoker added Progressive Knockout tournaments and Fast Five cash games to its client.
Progressive Knockout tournaments, also called progressive bounty tournaments, are a popular variant in the online poker world, thanks in part to giving players the chance to win large sums of money without the need to cash in the actual tournament.
As the name suggests, players start the tournament with bounties on their heads and these bounties increase every time they eliminate an opponent, which makes players more attractive targets for the rest of the table. If a player wins the tournament, she not only scoops the first-place prize but also takes her own bounty, which by this stage will likely be quite large.
