Phil Ivey Won $1.7 Million Last Week

admin — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:58:44 +0000

Being a Full Tilt Poker Pro and also considered one of the best poker players in the world could be enough for some people but not for Phil Ivey. He is one of the November nine players that will be in a fierce battle for the WSOP 2009 main event bracelet. His performance at the WSOP this year was outstanding: he cashed five times for a total of $356,994. Two of those cashes also awarded him bracelets, taking his WSOP bracelet count up to seven.

It’s not common to have a busy Friday at the high stakes tables at Full Tilt Poker but this past Friday was a dream day for all the railbirds. Ivey had an impressive session in which he reached a profit of $1.5 million but had some loses and by the time he quit the tables he still had a massive profit that exceed $790K. Adding his profits from Thursday and Friday, Ivey increased his bankroll in $1.7 million this past week.

Martonas Lost 700K More

admin — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 10:45:04 +0000

Nobody knows who Martonas is, but he or she has been hitting the high stakes online poker tables at Full Tilt Poker again, undeterred by some heavy multi-tabling losses against Tom Dwan and other top Internet players earlier in the week.

This time it was CardRunners pro Brian ‘Stinger’ Hastings who took on the mystery player, living up to his nickname by ending the session $690 000 up at Martonas’s expense in some hair-raising and very aggressive $300/$600 heads-up No-Limit Hold’em.

The session involved no new table records, but plenty of $100 000 pots, two of them well over $200 000, which Hastings took.

Despite his/her recent reverses, Martonas remains in profit of over $1.5 million for the month of August and over $400 000 for the current week alone, which gives some idea of the level of activity this player has generated.

The big winners and losers this week (August 12-18) were: Aaron “aejones” Jones (up $898 000), Cole South (up $538 000 – he’s also up $2.56 million this year to date) and Martonas (up $413 000).

At the losing end of the scale were Patrik Antonius ( down $1.33 million – but up $3.05 million this year to date), Phil Ivey ( down $839 000 on the week) and Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies ( down $463 000).

Joe Cada Wins $45,000

admin — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:03:52 +0000

Joe Cada, who won a seat at the final table at the World Series of Poker Texas Hold-em Main Event to be played in Las Vegas on Nov. 7, took second place in a $150-rebuy online tournament through Full Tilt Poker on Sunday, winning $45,000.

“I planned on taking a little break from poker, but I always play on Sunday,” Cada said. “I had to play and just so happened to have won a little bit of money.”

Cada arrived back home in Shelby Township from Las Vegas on Friday to a festive gathering of family and friends. Cada has been in Las Vegas for the last four months playing in the World Series of Poker, a 57-event series of poker tournaments. He netted $28,214 placing in two small events and won a life-changing $1,263,602 for making the final table at the Main Event. The “November Nine” are playing for a first-place prize of $8,546,435.

“My phone has been ringing off the hook — mostly with numbers I don’t even recognize,” he said of being back in Michigan.

Cada said he’ll continue to play online every Sunday and is scheduled to play in a couple large poker tournaments before the Main Event final table in November. He said he plans on playing at the Legends of Poker at the Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens, Calif., on Aug. 22-26 as part of the World Poker Tour, and will play in an another event in Barcelona, Spain, in September.

No Record For Full Tilt Poker

admin — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 11:47:54 +0000

Full Tilt Poker tried to set a new record for the largest online tournament this weekend. Unfortunately, its attempts were unsuccessful. Nevertheless, it managed to rack up 50,000 players, 15,000 short of PokerStars record of 65,000.

Why PokerStars managed to attract so many players? PokerStars offered a very similar tournament for a fraction of the cost, not to mention it clearly has a larger player pool than Full Tilt Poker. Also, Full Tilt Poker put a cap on their tournament at 50,000. Now if you are trying to break records, why would you put a cap?

On any note, online poker players really are the one breaking records here. Lucky winners are walking away with giant prizes. Full Tilt Poker tournament had a prize pool of $500K, while PokerStars tournament offered up a total prize pool of $130K. The winner of the Full Tilt Poker “The Record Breaker” tournament will walk away with $45,000.00, risking only $5.00.

This will only be a beginning to the battle of the who can create the larger tournament, as speculations see Full Tilt Poker trying this once again, but with a much smaller buy-in. The great thing about these type of battles, the online players are the ones benefiting the most.

World’s Largest Poker Tournament From Full Tilt Poker

admin — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 08:11:25 +0000

Full Tilt Poker will try to break the official Guinness World Record(TM) for Largest Online Poker Tournament by attracting more than 35,000 players to the table on July 19th at 15:05ET.

The Record Breaker tournament was unveiled as the finale to FIVE – a week of events and promotions honoring the fifth birthday of Full Tilt Poker.

Team Full Tilt members and WSOP bracelet winners Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson and Phil Ivey are planning to participate, offering players the chance to sit down at this historic event with some of the best high stakes and tournament players in the world.

Staging a poker tournament of this size would be really difficult. The current record for the largest “live” poker tournament was set at the 2006 WSOP Main Event with 8,772 players.

The Record Breaker will begin on July 19, 2009 at 15:05 ET. Players can be a part of the world record attempt for US$5 or 1000 Full Tilt Points and compete for a share of a US$250K guaranteed with US$250K added prize pool.

In addition, icons to skip to the beginning or end of a hand are available. In the top right corner of a table, Full Tilt Poker users can flip back and forth between pots they’ve played with ease.

The Hand Replayer also has a link to text hand histories. If user clicks on any hand number will open a new window with the transcript of the hand in it. The lower left corner of the Hand Replayer includes a link to view observer chat from previous hands. The console can be expanded to display every hand played during a session in a list and users can double click on any hand to replay it. Hand numbers shaded in green in the list were won by the user. Hands where the user did not see all of the action are shaded in red and observed hands are highlighted in blue.

Full Tilt Poker was one of several online poker rooms whose funds were seized by the US Attorneys office in the Southern District of New York in early June. A total exceeding $40 million has thus far been froze.

Online Poker eChecks Problem Resolved?

admin — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 12:15:13 +0000

Some posts in forums (2+2, pocketfives, pokerforums) claim that players were able to deposit with echecks on PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker sites. It is still not clear if cash-outs will go through as it may take a while before players try to risk cashing-out through echecks to verify.

Even through it is still not clear whether the problem is fully solved, it seems that everything is getting back to normal in the world of online poker.

Some reports also claimed Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars have started reimbursing their players who were affected by this situation.
