If I understand your question right, what you are looking for are the tournaments listed at the bottom of the page.

These involve multiple tables just like the real life tourneys you may have seen. They start with up to 10 players per table and slowly wind down as players are eliminated to a final table of 10 and then a winner. The payouts are a percentage of the inputs and vary depending on the tournament.

The run at different times of the day, but always based on the server time, which is visible just above the area with the tournament names.

Those are referred to as "The Big One" collectively. There is usually one large entry fee tournament and a couple of moderate to low entry fee tournaments each day.

For example, Todays "Big One" is The Continental. It starts at 12:00 server time and has a buyin of 100,000.

Not necessarily. Some of the Big Tourneys have 1K and 5K buy-ins.
