Full Tilt Poker Renews Million Dollar Game
Full Tilt Poker has decided to partner with Emblaze Productions to continue and bring the Million Dollar Cash Game to its members. The companies have agreed to a three year deal. Emblaze will produce the game and Full Tilt will sponsor it during this time.
James Hopkins, managing director of Emblaze Productions, said, “We are delighted that Full Tilt Poker have continued their association with the Million Dollar Cash Game and we are expecting the strongest player line up yet for season 5.”
The Million Dollar Cash Game will host one invitation-only event this year which will be recorded in London. The dates for filming are scheduled for September 8th and 9th. The program will show in High Definition.
A number of highly regarded poker professionals have agreed to take part in the event. Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson and Phil Helmuth are all slated to participate. This no-holds barred event promises to be a thriller and ultra-satisfying for poker players everywhere. The best players are duking it out for poker supremacy, winning and losing tons of money in the process. It’s a bit of a clash of the titans if you will and all of them are willing to let it ride (no, not let it ride poker) playing no limit texas holdem at the highest stakes.
Last year’s Million Dollar Cash Game was a huge hit and record breaking to boot. The game featured the biggest cash game pot ever to be broadcast on television. Patrik Antonius and Tom “Durrr” Dwan went head-to-head with Dwan winning a whopping $1.1 million from his opponent, Antonius. Season Five will be broadcasted on Spy Sports and can be available for viewing throughout Europe.
The Million Dollar Cash Game at Full Tilt Poker is a one of the most respected high stakes cash games in Europe. Only those with deep pockets need apply. Every player who wishes to participate must have £100,000 to play. This is a game that the true poker players and fans do not want to miss. The best players in the world will be participating and there is a lot of money to be won and lost.
Full Tilt Poker Site Software Update Offers Major Lobby Improvements
The Full Tilt Poker site has released its latest poker software update, chock-full of new lobby and navigation features.
- Visit -> Full Tilt Poker Site
The highlights of the new Full Tilt Poker site software update includes vast improvements to the poker lobby, making navigation and picking the right games easier than ever before:
- Thanks to the Full Tilt Poker’s addition of color coding to the poker lobby, players can now view all the tournaments for which they’re already registered, and tables at which they’re already sitting in, in just one glance.
- To see the ring games you’re playing in, look for the green highlights and green lettering. Look for the purple highlights to view the tournaments you’re registered for, or already playing in.
- Players are now able to see late registration information for each individual tournament they’re in. You’ll find these right below the start times of each given tournament, showing how many levels of late registration are available in each one.
- Also, for all the guaranteed tournaments FullTilt offers, players now have late registration available to them for the first hour after they begin.
Finally the Full Tilt software update also includes a user-friendly tournament countdown widget to let players see exactly how much time is left until the next tournament starts.
Another helpful change to the Full Tilt Poker site lobby is the ability to control auto-open tournament lobbies. In other words, you can view whether or not the tournament lobby opens up directly before or after a tournament starts or ends. Be sure and download fulltiltpoker.com and check out the new, upgraded software!

$10 Million Main Event Mania Comes To Full Tilt Poker
Full Tilt Poker has always been loved for its generosity when it comes to World Series of Poker promotions, and for the upcoming 2010 WSOP (less than two months away now), it’s no different. In fact, if anything, FullTilt is being more generous than ever when it comes to free 2010 WSOP seats and opportunities to win them.
The crowning glory of this year’s Full Tilt Poker WSOP promotion is $10 Million Main Event Mania, a concept introduced by this and other sites over recent years as more and more WSOP Main Event champs come from the ranks of online poker qualifiers, in which a bonus prize—in this case of $10,000,000 cash—will be awarded to the winner of the 2010 WSOP Main Event (on top of the official WSOP prizemoney) if they had earned their seat in the competition through a FullTilt online WSOP satellite.
Those online satellites come in many forms, including several 50-seat guarantees and even a 150-seat guarantee. These are single tournaments in which multiple WSOP Main Event prize packages are to be awarded (in the amount of the guarantee). Full Tilt Poker is also giving players daily chances to win a 2010 WSOP Main Event prize package for as little as a buck with The $1 Main Event Seat part of the promotion. You can learn more in our FullTiltPoker.com review and get signed up.
As always, there’s even a leader board race for this year’s main event, called the Race To The Main Event (more on this in an upcoming post). And that’s not even all of it. Wait until we tell you about the Race For Bracelets over the coming weeks as well.
