Complete tournament policy: every remaining player is all-in on every future hand. All hands use real random Hold'em deals and side pots until one champion remains. This intentionally aggressive policy is not an optimal or predicted tournament strategy. It jointly tracks every stack, located bounty, knockout, prize and remaining envelope. Work-limit failures return an error, never an ICM replacement for unfinished bounty play.
