150 players end up showing up for the event. When the tournament gets underway, 15 tables are in action, with 10 players per table.

These 15 tables need to play down to just one table (the final table), where a winner will eventually be crowned.

In most multi-table tournaments, you are considered eliminated when you run out of chips. Some tournaments, however, will allow you to buy in more than once.

The winner of a multi-table tournament is the person who has all of the chips in the end. The other places are determined based on order of elimination.

In most multi-table tournaments, blinds will regularly increase and antes will eventually be added.

Names such as Phil Hellmuth, Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson have all won the World Series of Poker main event.
