On special occasions you will find tournaments featuring side prize pools on pokerroom.com. This means that there will be more than one way to win money.

On top of a regular payout, there will also be a special prize pool paying out based on some accomplishment other than finishing in the top of the tournament. This could for example be based on busting a specific player (called a Bounty) or based on who has busted the most players in a tournament overall.

The cash to cover this extra prize pool comes either in the form of an ADDED prize or by splitting the buy-ins and/or fees into two separate prize pools.
