How a Freezeout Works

Every player buys in once. The prize pool is made of these single entries, so the number of entries equals the number of players.

  • No second chance: busting means the end of your tournament.
  • Field: entries are usually lower than in a re-entry event of the same price, and the field is fixed early.

How to Play a Freezeout

  • Protect your stack: without re-entry, avoiding early high-variance spots has more value.
  • Use the levels: freezeouts often have a balanced structure; there is no rush.
  • Compare the value: a freezeout gives every player the same single shot, which many players prefer.
