At the conclusion of the stream, the individual winnings of each player were tallied, and these totals were combined with those of their teammates. The team with the highest cumulative winnings would be awarded a share of a $300 prize pool.
Another additional rule added was, each player had one “time out” chip that they could use in a heads-up pot. Once used the whole team would gather together and talk about the hand.
