August 31, 2008

The 50-50 at Full Tilt Poker is a nightly tournament that for $50+$5 gives players a shot at a piece of a guaranteed $50,000 prize pool.

The nightly 50-50 at Full Tilt Poker makes sure that the winner is taking home a minimum of $9,500. This is the bare minimum for the winner as this first place prize money is usually much higher.

Full Tilt Poker offers players the chance to win big money every Sunday at their featured Sunday poker tournaments.  These tournaments are The Sunday Brawl, the $750k Guaranteed and the Sunday Muligan.

The Sunday Brawl is a knockout bounty tournament that starts every Sunday at 2:00pm EST.  This tournament features $250k in guaranteed prize money and costs each player $256 to get in directly.  Of the buy in, $40 will go into the knockout bounty pool.  So if you take out any other player, their $40 bounty is automatically deposited into your account regardless of how you finish in the tournament.  The all time knockout leader at the time of this writing is OnlyPlayRagz with 77 knockouts.  That means in bounties alone they have collected $3,080 in winnings.

After the Sunday Brawl, players can head over to the $750k Guaranteed event, which highlights the Full Tilt Poker tournament week as the largest guaranteed tournament at Full Tilt Poker.   This event will cost you $216 to enter, but players may qualify for this tournament for as little as $2.25.  Satellites run all week long and there are both sit and go tournaments as well as multi table tournaments to qualify for the $750k Guaranteed tournament.

Finally, the Sunday night big money tournaments ends at 7:05 EST with the Sunday Muligan.  This is a $150k guaranteed tournament for those of your who miss the Sunday $750k or who get knocked out early.  This is also a $216 buy in tournament, but can also be entered via satellite tournaments that run weekly at Full Tilt Poker.

Remember, that one Sunday every month the $750k will be bumped up to a guaranteed $1 million prize pool at Full Tilt Poker.
