Full Tilt opens new high-stakes table

There was a time when $50/$100 cash games were considered ridiculous, but in recent years the nosebleed action has spiralled out of control and this week Full Tilt Poker set a new high-stakes benchmark by opening a $3,000/$6,000 limit hold’em table.

The stakes, the biggest on offer on the site, were requested by unknown German nosebleed pro IHateJuice, who after challenging some of the site’s biggest stars is up more than $1 million in limit hold’em alone this year.

During a profitable session against megastar Phil Ivey last week, IHateJuice wrote in the chat box:

IHateJuice: btw… can u do me a favor and ask FTP [Full Tilt Poker] for 3k6k tables?

Phil Ivey: u wanna break me faster?

IHateJuice: this has nothing to do with u

Phil Ivey: i was joking

IHateJuice: maybe patrik wants to play higher

Phil Ivey: y not jus open up 5k 10k tables and get it out of the mud

IHateJuice: yeah, why not?

Phil Ivey: i wanna sweat it

IHateJuice: uve played so much higher in the past

IHateJuice: im the biggest fan of your limit history

Phil Ivey: when i play really high i like to look at the person

Phil Ivey: ty

IHateJuice: anyway, i would appreciate it if u could convice ftp

Full Tilt were obviously taking notes and in honour of IHateJuice’s request, the site has decided to name its solitary $3,000/$6,000 limit table after the German pro.
