Sniper tournaments are bounty tournaments with AP - in other words you collect bounties on other players when you deliver the final blow.
Absolute Poker are running a bounty tournament that can't be missed on Thursday night August 19th. The event starts at 9pm ET and it is called the Sniper $20K GTD Hold'em tournament. The format of the tournament will be No Limit Texas Hold'em and the buy-in is $120 + $10.
Bounty tournaments are funner and more involving than normal freezeout tournaments as you can win money on any hand. For example, if you knock a guy out in this tournament you will top up your bankroll by $10. If you knock 10 guys out, you will win $100.
Be sure to get involved in hands if there is a really low stack playing as you'll want to be the one to knock that low-stack out. The starting stacks in this tournament are 3000 strong and the blinds only increase every 15 minutes.
