King of The Hill | Season 2
The King of the Hill is a 'winner stays on' competition which offers a chance to win money whilst promoting high-level play. Prize money is increased for the longer someone is able to keep their throne, winning consecutive games in a row. In order to be the King, you must defeat the current King! Contesters to the throne are chosen via an array of methods as decided by... The Wheel of Fate
