Erik Seidel has been nicknamed “Seiborg” by our friends at The Micros. Once again he went into a High Stakes tournament looking to destroy and that’s exactly what he did. The World Poker Tour was making running it’s final tournament of the season and added a $100,000 buyin Super High Roller tournament at the Bellagio [...]

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 [...]

Another Sunday has gone by with yet another big round of tournaments on Full Tilt. It was the first day of spring but that didn’t stop the grinders from staying in door to play in a half dozen events which would last until the early Monday morning. Standard majors, MiniFTOPS XIX final day, and the [...]

MiniFTOPS XVIII, Big Money Sunday, and a deep Mizrachi run

AlCantHang — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 22:37:15 +0000

It was a big day on the site with the monthly $1,000,000 Guarantee hitting at the same time as the final events of MiniFTOPS XVIII. That created two prizepools over $1,000,000 and five players with paydays over 6 digits if you include the final day of Event #29. While spending my day railing I was [...]

MiniFTOPS XVIII, Kristy Arnett, and Las Vegas Bounceback

I missed the beginning of MiniFTOPS XVIII in the middle of last week as I was winging my way from the frigid east coast to practically balmy Las Vegas. This trip to the desert was 99% vacation with just a little work thrown in as a mass pilgrimage of poker minded bloggers descended upon the [...]

It was another massive Sunday on Full Tilt as MiniFTOPS XVII wrapped up it’s run as well as the regularly scheduled Big Monday Sunday tournaments including the ramped up $1,000,000 Guarantee. The MiniFTOPS tournaments alone created over $2,400,000 in prize money alone (over $2.5m if you include the Double Deuce) for tiny buyin. Six-digit wins [...]

Greetings from beach-side on the coast of North Carolina where your hard charging blogging servant will spend a few days unwinding before the final push of the year. But that doesn’t mean I wasn’t paying close attention to big action online which was heightened by some insanely large fields in the MiniFTOPS XVII events. Just [...]

As the name of our blog indicates, we spend a lot of time railing poker games throughout the week and yesterday did not disappoint at all. I’ve become used to the standard series of railbird messages during the huge Sunday games full of beggars and fanboys. Most are harmless and the more annoying are eventually [...]
