Headhunting Poker The New Thing?SportingLife Poker 18 Nov -- The game has changed since the days of old; of that there is no doubt. But poker takes another step in a new direction with the introduction of a 'scalp tournament'. Players will now be paid out according to how many other players they bust. The Paddy Power Poker Irish Open 08 will be the scene of a splinter of poker history this weekend, when they host the first ever 'scalp' event. This means that players of the €330 freeze out will receive a €30 payout every time they bust a player. Full Tilt have followed suit by introducing a 'Knockout' tournament. In brief, 20% of the prize pool will be for the heads of other players. This could turn some serious profits for both players and organisers, so let's hold thumbs for the WSOP Scalp Tournament one day! Back to November 2007 NewsBack to Poker News Index |
