No-Limit Hold\'em \"Terminator\" Event?
 

Noticed this on the Peppermmill Reno's poker page

Link to Tournament Schedule

Friday, November 2nd

Noon No-Limit Hold'em "Terminator"
$200 + $25 buy-in ~ 3,000 chips

Can anyone tell me what this is? Do we have to get past Arnold to win? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

To win the prize money all you have to do is win the tournament. To keep your prize money you have to fight him..

I seriously never heard of this maybe they give you a DVD copy of the Terminator just for signing up.

I wonder if this is just a new term for a bounty tournament

Bump

I think I've found another tournament describing what this is - from a SENECA schedule/structure sheet.

“The Terminator Tournament”
$80 + $15 Buy-In = $1,500 Tournament Chips
$10 (1) Dealer Bonus Buy = $500 Tournament Chips (first round only)
The player with the most terminator chips; will be awarded 7% of the prize pool.
A player earns terminator chip(s) by knocking out other players in the tournament.


++++

So, it's sort of a guaranteed ~4-6th place place for the most knockouts. Has anyone ever played in this, or anything like this? Comments?

This:

cites one where every player gets a bounty for each player he knocks out, not just the player with the most scalps. So I guess the details vary.

I played at Orleans in Vegas. They have a 5 dollar bounty tourney.
