Poker players have been logging on in massive numbers at Full Tilt poker for the past few weeks to enjoy the large guaranteed tournaments. This past weekend so many players registered for the tournaments that over $200,000 total was added to the prize pools for the $750k guarantee and The Sunday Brawl.
The Sunday Brawl seems to be getting most of the action as of late. This event is a knockout tournament which has a buy-in of $240 plus 16. $40 of the buy-in goes toward the knockouts so if you knock a player out you get a reward. 2,448 players registered for this tournament which increased the regular $350,000 guaranteed prize pool to $489,600. That is an increase of $139,600!
Play was tough during the tournament and when online players titanfr59 and Cheryl45 got down to heads up play they would decided to cut a deal. The deal left both players earning nice prize and the eventual win would go to titanfr59.
Final Results:
titanfr59 – $90,481
Cheryl45 – $74,000 *2-way deal
pocketrockets11 – $47,981

the $750k guaranteed tournament had a good turnout as well with 4,126 players competing. This tournament has a buy-in of $200 plus 16 so the prize pool was increased by $75,200, not as large as The Sunday Brawl increase but still impressive. 585 spots would be paid in this tournament with first place earning over $145,000.
There would be no deal struck during this tournament so Kirbynator and ForEngland, the last two standing, would have to fight to earn a good prize.

The FIVE promotion came to an end this past weekend as Full Tilt upped the ante for their largest Sunday guaranteed tournament. The online poker room offered a $1.5 million guarantee this past weekend and 3,315 players registered to compete in the tournament.
The top prize was just over $295,000 so everyone was hoping to hold on and get to heads up play. When final table play began the chips totals were pretty close so it was anybody’s game. The two players who were out front in chips were sweepybreedy and HellaStacks who both had 3million+ and 2 million + respectively.
DiGTaLDeMoN was the first player eliminated when he went up against PAhrRK’s who held Pocket Queens to his Jacks. Ags104 was out next when he was called by HellaStacks who held a dominating A-K. The next few to go would be uRuGwa1, TheMasterJ33, Philbort and sweepybreedy leaving the last three players to duke it out before heads up play would begin.
HellaStacks was not looking good after he lost most of his chips to PAhrRK in one hand when both turned a flush and PAhrRK’s was better. HellaStacks would go out when he went up against PAhrRK again and his A-9 was no match for PAhrRK’s K-Q.
PAhrRK then began heads up play with blarkin but it would not last long. It ended when PAhrRK went all in with K-10 and was called by blarkin with A-9. The board ran K-3-4-10-9 and PAhrRK’s King gave him the win.
Final Results:
1. PAhrRK – $296,775.38
2. blarkin – $180,667.50
3. HellaStacks – $117,682.50

Weekend tournaments are looked forward to by many online players who try every week to earn a large prize at many popular online poker rooms. Many times the guaranteed tournaments see large increases in the prize pools and sometimes the tournaments see such a low turnout that the poker rooms have to add money just to reach the guarantee. This past weekend, only a few tournaments saw increases while most only reached the guarantee.
Absolute Poker’s $100k guaranteed tournament this past Sunday was one of the only tournaments online that saw an increase in the prize pool. Online poker rooms were not overly busy this weekend so it is surprising that Absolute saw a slight increase.
Two hundred and nineteen players registered for the tournament and after paying the $500 plus 30 buy-in players created a prize pool of $109,500. Twenty seven spots would be paid with first place earning $28,470.
Final table play would begin a good bit after play began with each player hoping to be the final player standing. When it came down to three way play, online players T8110, GASSITT and BINRICH were very busy holding their own to make it to heads up play. T8110 would not be able to hold on and would go out in third leaving the two players left to compete in heads up play.
After some time BINRICH would gain the chip lead and make a move. GASSITT would call and it would be all over as the cards fell for BINRICH and the win would be his. GASSITT earned $16,973 for second place while BINRICH took home the almost $30,000 first place prize.
Final Results at Absolute Poker:
BINRICH – $28,470
GASSITT – $16,973
