Double Thru and Break Thru Tournaments at PKR

Double Thru and Break Thru Tournaments at PKRCurrently PKR offers a wide range of tournaments. Some of the most attractive and fun are the Double Thru and Break Thru tournaments.

In Double Thru tournaments the first half of the players doubles their buy-in. The most important thing is to survive to the payouts. It doesn’t matter the place you finish, because all winners receive the same amount. The Double Thru tournaments consist in just one table of 10 players, so 5 players will win and 5 players will lose. PKR offers Double Thru tournaments with a wide range of buy-ins starting with $5 + $0.50 and going up to $100 + $9.

Break Thru tournaments are even better that Double Thru. At these tournaments, winners triple their buy-in and the first placed player wins 25% of the prize pool. The players that finish in the first quarter are awarded at least third times the buy-in.

The maximum number of players, for this tournament, is 2000 so the first prize can be pretty big. For example at a $5 + $0.50 buy-in Break Thru with 91 players, the winner will get $113.96 and the next 21 players will receive $16.24. The Break Thru tournaments are available with $5 + $0.50 and $10 + $1 buy-ins.
