Among Full Tilt’s cornucopia of World Series of Poker Promotions is something called “The FTPA Main Event Challenge”. It involves just one seat and it sounds from the abbreviation like a public works project from the Roosevelt Administration but don’t be fooled. If you look closely at the promotion, you will not only find a way to get into the Main Event, but you will also discover one of Full Tilt’s greatest and most under-appreciated assets.

Alexander Kostritsyn bested Erik Seidel in head’s up play. Alex wins $1.65 Million. Erik wins $1 Million for second place. I’ve described some key hands in the previous post.
I’ll post a recap of the events in Australia in a post after I finish my travels back to the US–probably in two or three days.
I’d like to thank Michael for allowing me to share his blog space. It’s been fun.

In the picture below, you can see two of the Full Tilt online qualifiers for the Aussie Millions. On the far right of the picture is diplomat, and on the far left is shaniac.
diplomat is a poker hobbiest. An improv actor form LA, he plays the occasional live tournament at the Bike or Commerce. This is his second big buy-in tournament; his first was the 2006 WSOP, for which he qualified through Full Tilt. He got into the Aussie Millions through player points. He didn’t spend a dime to get here.
shaniac is a full-time pro. He’s one of the highest-rated online tournament players, and he’s well-respected on the tournament circuit. He had a WSOP final table in 2005, and he’s had several deep finishes in big tournaments. He also writes a blog about his poker experiences.
These are two players who both play on Full Tilt, but poker means very different things to these guys. One’s a hobbiest, and one’s a pro. And here they are.
How these and other qualifiers doing? Let’s have a look:
