Holiday $100k Tournament (and other diversions)

Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail

Happy Holidays from the bunker gang at Poker From the Rail. I’ll be stuck in my frozen lair playing and watching as the mass of players take advantage of their time off from the real world jobs and jam the site full of dead money and huge fields in the daily guarantee games. You will see the tournaments fill up quickly as players take a much needed break from their familial obligations throwing money into small buy-in / big prizepool events.

There are quite a few promotions going on during the Holiday season that you should use to your advantage. Full Tilt is following up the success of the The Holiday $100k with an Extra Holiday $100k. Both tournaments will have $100,000 prizepools and the buyin is only 2,000 Full Tilt Points, plus satellites and freerolls are available. No cash buyin, just those points you’ve been saving around to get that FTP mousepad or golf tees. The tournaments are set for December 27th and 28th at 15:15ET, the max number of players is set at 10,000 and the first tournament already has over 9,000 players registered.

Get in there and register now before it’s too late to get your chunk of free FTP cash.

Also during the next week you can earn triple Happy Hour FTP points in the 3Xmas Happy Hour promotion. Triple points and you can easily get yourself into one of the Holiday $100k games, bonus all around.

These events, combined with the full compliment of daily guarantee tournaments and Big Money Sundays, will give you plenty of opportunities to pad your bankroll and make your family forgive you missing that big dinner at Uncle John’s house or the rock solid fruitcake.

The full schedule is after the jump.
