Internet powerhouse cranks up the pressure

For the 37th running of the event, the first prize in the Main Event is expected to be $10 million and Full Tilt Poker will double that figure if the winner qualifies through their site. If players get to the WSOP through Full Tilt, and reach the final table they will receive £50K, finish in the top three $100K, and go on to win the tournament a cool $10 million in addition to the Main Event top prize.
In conjunction with this promotion the company are also giving away $1 million worth of WSOP Main Event seats free, with five monthly 20 seat freerolls beginning in March.
Not only that, on 16th July Full Tilt are holding a 100 Seat Guarantee tournament with an impressive 100 seats at the WSOP Main Event up for grabs.
Bright ideas and big money innovations such as these see Full Tilt go from strength to strength in the online marketplace, and it all adds up to the WSOP slated to be held from 25th June to 10th August at the Rio in Las Vegas to be the biggest and best yet.
