Full Tilt WSOP Main Event Finalists November Nine Results

Three of the now famous November 9 were sponsored by Full Tilt Poker at this years World Series of Poker Main Event.  These three players, Scott Montgomery, Craig Marquis and Kelly Kim finished 5th, 8th and 9th respectively.  The short stack coming into the final table was Kelly Kim with just under 3 million in chips.  However, Kelly was able to avoid elimination early and then hang on until Craig Marquis became the 1st player out at the final table.

Even though Craig and Kelly were the first two players bounced from the final table, they each took home $900,000 and $1.25 million respectively.

Montgomery came into the November 9 in the best position of the three with just over 20 million in chips.  This enabled him to play strong at the table and work his way into a 5th place finish and $3 million in cash for his efforts.  Montgomery was playing  very strong up to the point where he pushed all in holding just ace three.  He was called by pocket 6's and even though he was able to catch an ace on both the flop and turn, a river 6 hit the board to knock him out of the tournament.

Overall, this was a very good year for Full Tilt Poker players in the WSOP 2008 Main Event.  In 2008 the Full Tilt Poker Pros brought home 8 WSOP bracelets and made 42 final tables.

UFC Fighter Randy Couture Joins Team Full Tilt

In a prime example of cross-industry collaboration, Full Tilt Poker welcomes its newest celebrity endorser in Randy “The Natural” Couture, MMA fighter and former 5-time UFC Heavyweight Champ (until just last week at UFC 91 when he was unseated by Brock Lesnar).

In fact, as Couture was getting his butt handed to him by the younger powerhouse of a fighter, viewers all the way in the nosebleed seats could see the Full Tilt Poker logo emblazoned on his butt (okay, his shorts – but same diff).

Along with lesser-known Mixed Martial Arts celebs Matt Hughes and Mike Swick, Couture signed a deal with Full Tilt Poker to all be officially considered “Friends” of the site.

What this means for Full Tilt players is that, while you may not be able to best any of these guys in the UFC Octagon (or even meet them there), you can now meet them and have your shot at beating them at the online poker tables.

FTOPS X Wraps Up with US Player the Big Winner

Another year, another Full Tilt Online Poker Series. The 10th installment of this annually awaited tournament series started on the 5th of this month and wrapped itself up last night with American Julian Verse besting 5,224 other contenders for the $450,708.50 main event grand prize.

The main event was hosted by Scott Montgomery who came in 5th place in this year's World Series of Poker main event.

The most popular of the series' 25 events (at least in terms of the size of the player pool) was surprisingly not this $2.5 million guaranteed main event but the $120 + $9 No Limit Hold’em Knockout tournament, which saw 7,000 players vying for their share of the $500,000 guaranteed prize pool (pushed to $700,000 by all the buy-ins).

One player "yuvee04", however, might be considered the real big winner of the FTOPS X, while winning considerably less than Verse's $400k+ still claims bragging rights by winning two consecutive tournaments:

• Event 14 - $500 + $35 H.O.R.S.E.
• Event 15 - No Limit Holdem Turbo

Overall, Full Tilt Poker awarded more than $15 million in cash prizes to the best (and luckiest) of the contenders.

Full Tilt Brings The Matrix to Online Poker

No, not the Keanu Reeves trilogy.

As of last month the Full Tilt Poker lobby boasts yet another new opportunity to win big. It’s a new Sit-‘n-Go Tournament hosted by Full Tilt Poker.

The idea is that you sit down to compete against the same opponents, not once, not twice, not three times, but four times in a row.

Each table gets its own exclusive cash winnings to play for, and points are awarded based on each player’s performance in all four tournaments. Prize money is divvied up at the end with the top 3 players getting an added bonus.

Ways to notch up points include:

• knocking out another player (2 points)
• outlasting your opponents (1 point for each)
• winning the table (2 points)

There are Full Tilt Poker Matrix Sit-‘n-Go Tournaments in a wide variety of games – Texas Holdem, Omaha, HORSE – in a wide variety of formats – limit, pot-limit, 9-handed, 6-handed – and in a wide variety of stakes – $1 + $0.25 TO $2,100 + $90.

Win all four of the games in a single Matrix event, and win not only all the money, but bragging rights as one of Full Tilt Poker’s rare and revered “dominatrixes”.
