There's a double elimination tournament at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood on July 19th, 2019. I originally saw a promotion for it at CEO, but here's some info on a site after I googled it:

BRACKETS
re-buy
FGF will use a traditional 3-OUT double elimination style initial bracket with a twist.
Instead of NOT playing the loser's final, in a situation where both competitors would advance to the next stage, you will play this match. One player advances out in losers, another is eliminated. However, the '3rd out' spot, will remain unfilled.
At any point upon elimination from your initial double elimination bracket, there will be optional single elimination brackets you can rebuy your way back into the tournament for $20, each time. The winners of these single elimination rebuy brackets will be placed back into the main bracket's "3rd out" positions, on the loser’s side of the bracket. These single-elimination brackets will take place after all pools have been completed. Once complete, the tournament will continue on as normal, post-pool play, with no other rebuys. There will be enough of these brackets to match the amount of pools in tournament, and a player can enter as many of them as they desire for the $20 reentry, every time. These entries contribute 100% to the prize pot.
