Las Vegas and Atlantic City are two of the best places to find regular poker tournaments.  Both the World Series of Poker championship and the World Poker Tour championship are hosted in Las Vegas.  For information about Las Vegas poker tournaments and poker rooms, see Las Vegas Poker Tournaments.  To find out about Atlantic City poker tournaments and poker rooms, see Atlantic City Poker Tournaments.

Online poker rooms also offer regular poker tournaments.  You can get into a tournament for as little as $6, or you can play high stakes poker with buy-ins of $300 and more.  You will find both single table tournaments as well as multiple table tournaments.

Poker Tournament Play

You can join a poker tournament simply by paying the buy-in and entry fee.  Each player will start with an equal amount of chips.  Limited re-buys are available at some land based poker tournaments but are not usual at online poker rooms.  A player is eliminated when they lose all of their chips.  A winner is declared when one player has won all of the chips.

The prize pool is split between the top poker tournament finishers.  For example, a poker tournament might pay the first place winner 50% of the prize pool, the second place winner 30%, and the third place winner 20%.  Large poker tournaments typically pay down a higher quantity of places.  For example, the World Poker Tour championship at Bellagio Casino paid the top 50 players.

Being the largest online poker room, Party Poker offers the widest variety of poker tournaments.  You can find daily single and multi-table tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $6 to $300 and more.  Party Poker also holds weekly poker tournaments with prizes ranging from trips to Las Vegas to over $250,000 in prize money.  To read more about the poker tournaments at Party Poker go to Party Poker Tournaments.

The best Atlantic City poker tournaments can be found at the Borgata and Trump Taj Mahal.  Las Vegas has a number of good poker rooms although some of the best Las Vegas poker tournaments can be found at the Bellagio, Binion's, Mirage Hotel, Sahara, Orleans, and Sam's Town, among other casinos.
