PKO, or Progressive Knockout, tournaments are nothing new in the online poker world, although partypoker��s PKO events are unique. First, partypoker does not charge any rake on the bounty element of the buy-in, which in turn makes the bounties larger than elsewhere and reduces the overall rake.

Second, the player finishing in first and second place receive a similar prize �C usually within a handful of dollars �C leaving the heads-up duo to fight it out over what is now a sizeable bounty payment. This means there isn��t a gigantic difference between first and second place prizes that often result in the final two players making a deal for the remainder of the prize pool.
