Full Tilt Poker offers a variety of tournaments with a range of buy-ins to suit all players. Get in on the action of the world’s best online poker tournaments.
How to Find a Tournament
If you’re just getting started in online poker, we recommend using Basic View of the Full Tilt Poker lobby to find a tournament. Basic View is an interactive guide designed to help you find the game you want to play – follow the step-by-step instructions to help make your selection. Learn more about using Basic View.
For players looking to take control of their game selection and management, we recommend using Standard View, the full-feature view of the main lobby. Start your search by making a selection in each column of the browse area at the top of the lobby:
Refine your search by using the Advanced Filters, located below the browse area:
Once you’ve filtered your search, make a selection from the game list:
If you’d like to save your search criteria, click the Add as Favorite button below the browse area. You can then access your saved searches in the Favorites tab:
Please see the Our Software page for more information on using Standard View.
For players with a low screen resolution or who prefer the lobby take up less space, Mini View offers the same great features as Standard View. Learn about using Mini View.
Tournament Types
With a wide variety of tournament types available, Full Tilt Poker offers the best tournament action in the world:
Rush Poker* Tournaments – Experience the world’s fastest poker game in a tournament format and rush your way to the final table. Learn more about Rush Poker* Tournaments.
Cashout Poker Tournaments – Cashout Poker Tournaments give you the option to cash out some or all of your chips before the tournament has ended. Learn more about Cashout Poker Tournaments.
Shootout Tournaments – Unlike standard tournaments where players are moved to keep the tables balanced, each table in a Shootout Tournament plays down to a single winner who then moves on to face the winners of the other tables. Learn more about Shootout Tournaments.
Knockout Bounty Tournaments – Featuring a bounty on each player, knock a player out of the tournament to collect their bounty. Learn more about Knockout Bounty Tournaments.
Rebuy Tournaments - Rebuy/Add-On Tournaments feature a period at the start of the tournament where players can buy more chips if their stack is below a certain size, plus a period to rebuy for a final time (known as an add-on). Learn more about Rebuy Tournaments.
Turbo and Super Turbo Tournaments – Turbo Tournaments feature quicker blind levels than standard tournaments, while Super Turbo Tournaments offer the unique challenge of starting a tournament with a short stack.
Double Stack and Super Stack Tournaments – Double Stack Tournaments feature starting stacks of at least 3,000 chips, while Super Stack Tournaments have starting stacks of 5,000 or more chips.
There can also be a combination of different tournament types, such as a Turbo Knockout Double Stack Tournament.
Tournament Features
Tournament Tickets – Tournament Tickets give you another option for buying in to your favorite tournaments. They can be won by playing in special satellite tournaments, or purchased through the Full Tilt Poker Store. Learn more about Tournament Tickets.
Late Registration – Even if you don’t quite make it for the start of a tournament, you can still buy in with our Late Registration feature. Information on how many levels of Late Registration are available can be found in the tournament lobby, directly under the tournament start time. Learn more about Late Registration.
Synchronized Breaks – If you like to play more than one tournament at the same time, Synchronized Tournament Breaks allow you to “take five” out of every hour of tournament play without missing a hand. All of our scheduled tournaments (and many multi-table Sit & Go tournaments) go on break at 55 minutes past every hour. Learn more about Synchronized Breaks.
Automatic Tournament Deals – Once the final table of a tournament is reached, Automatic Tournament Deals allow players the option of making a deal for all or part of the remaining prize pool. Learn more about Automatic Tournament Deals.
Sit & Go Tournaments
Sit & Go tournaments begin once the required number of players has registered, rather than at a scheduled start time. We offer single-table and multi-table Sit & Go tournaments in a variety of types, including most of the tournament types described above.
In addition to those varieties, we also offer two tournament types that are only available as Sit & Go tournaments:
Steps Tournaments – A special tiered Sit & Go format that allows you to turn a small investment into a big score, work your way up the Steps Tournament levels starting for as little as $3.30. Learn more about Steps Tournaments.
Matrix Tournaments – Enter a Matrix Sit & Go Tournament for the ultimate Sit & Go challenge. You’ll play four single-table Sit & Go tournaments at the same time, against the same players on each table. Earn points for each player you knock out and each player you outlast on all four tables to earn your cut of the special Matrix prize pool. Learn more about Matrix Tournaments.
