I'm pretty sure it's poorly worded, but that's something that shouldn't happen in a professionally organized tournament for real money. Ambiguity has absolutely no place there, because it leads to confusion and situations like this one.

I think it was poorly worded by the poster.

One day that's gonna be you and you are going to welcome the same rule the floor made in this case.

I know I've been on both ends of this and thought it unfair when they didn't rule it was an all in a breathed a sigh of relief when I was the one to make a mistake.

What goes around comes around.

Ruling was correct. However, tossing your bounty chip in and saying nothing is terrible. I hate bounty chips. We all know that everyone is worth a bounty. Why give the players each a chip? I like the idea of the dealer holding the bounty chips and they toss one to the winner every time a player is eliminated.

I also prefer this but while it works well for small tournaments, it creates either more work in larger tournaments (as floors have to be moving bounty chips as alternates are seated and players moved from broken tables.

I used to play in one room where the floor came around and stamped the receipt of the player who won a bounty, then when the player was done in the tournament he got paid out based on the number of stamps on the receipt. Again works well for small tournaments but can create issues in larger events.

I doubt it - I am just telling you what the floor announced at the start of the tournament. However, I have seen players announce all-in, and then have the dealer tell them that they need to throw in their bounty chip before action can continue.

Follow up question about bounty tournaments. Never played in one or run one. I apologize if this goes a little bit more on a tangent than this thread already is but Suit's response made me wonder. What is the typical rule in these tournaments when 2 players both knock out 1 player? I.E. player goes all in with 10s and gets called by 2 players with AK and they hit an Ace. Do they split the bounty payoff? Worst position? Suits?

Just wondering.

If the all-in player was the short stack, then the players would split the bounty somehow. Each tournament would have their own way to handle that.

If the eliminated player was in a side pot then the AK in the side pot would get the bounty since it was the stack that had the eliminated player covered. The AK hands would then split the main pot as usual. GL

House rules dictate this. In my room:

If it is a house funded bounty pool you must bust a player alone in order to claim a bounty. No chopped bounties.

If it is a player funded bounty pool (funded from the buy-in) then if there was a tie and both players covered the eliminated player, then the bounty would be split.
