“May you live in interesting times.” – Chinese proverb/curse We’ve seen a few weeks of interesting news around Full Tilt Poker but the show must go on, including the 45 events comprising FTOPS XX which saw smaller fields with the exclusion of US players but also a winning class from all around the world. While [...]

FTOPS XX and Big Money Sunday for May 1st

Big Money Sunday – April 10th

AlCantHang — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 20:54:20 +0000

This was the “slow” Sunday on Full Tilt, the weekend sandwiched between Double Guarantees week and the kickoff of FTOPS XX on April 17th but how that definition was crushed with a nearly $2,000,000 prizepool in the biggest game of the day along with the $1,000 Onyx Cup Qualifier. So while there wasn’t the kind [...]

AlCantHang — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 22:09:22 +0000

The final weekend of Double Guarantees Week brought another boat load of players to the online tables concluding with a Sunday featuring triple guaranteed prizepools. This ballooned things up to 11 payouts which topped the six figure mark including a 5-handed deal in the Sunday Brawl which saw 5th place paying out more than any [...]

After the last few weeks of crazy action on the Full Tilt tables it was nice to have a Sunday afternoon where the biggest prizepool was only $864,000. A week Double Guarantee Multi-Entry tournaments followed by two weeks of FTOPS XIX was enough to blow the doors off nearly a month of tournaments. That doesn’t [...]

There were a bunch of adjectives being thrown around yesterday to describe the tables on Full Tilt during “Big Money Sunday”. Words like massive, huge, gigantor, bankroll busting, insanity, and a few not fit for publishing. For once it wasn’t hyperbole as the perfect storm of online tournaments hit the site yesterday, Double Guarantees Week and [...]

Last night was the final Big Money Sunday before a few weeks of craziness on the site and things started off strong. Live/online monster Chris “boNeZee” Bonita made The Sunday Brawl final table, after running down Josh “brikdog24″ Brikis, then worked his way a victory and over $120,000. The event came just 5 players away [...]

It’s always fun to play in the other guy’s sandbox once in a while and a few our pros did just that over the last week. Newly inked Full Tilt pro Shawn Buchanan reportedly won the PCA $5,000 8-game mix tournament for an unknown amount of money and a trophy which is not TSA approved. [...]

It was good Sunday for a few of our 2010 November Nine members as both John Dolan and Soi Nguyen had deep runs for serious cash. Mike “GoLeafsGoEh” Leah, Faraz “The-Toilet 0″ Jaka, and David “Sonelin” Sonelin also came away from the Sunday majors with multiple scores making sure the rail had plenty of entertainment [...]

While I was unsure how the response would be last Sunday for the majors, I was pretty confident we’d see a pretty big turnout this weekend. Granted there may have been a few grinders who hit the parties a little hard and were still comatose by Sunday afternoon but most were ready to fire away. [...]
