Full Tilt Poker’s Multi-Entry Tournament Makes Sowers Richer by $490k
Full Tilt Poker is currently challenging poker players to grab multiple opportunities to win big through its Multi-Entry Tournaments, a tournament format that is available only at Full Tilt Poker. Recently, talented poker pro Mike “SowersUNCC” Sowers took up the challenge and added a breathtakingly huge sum of $490k to his bankroll. Sowers matched his poker wits against 2,404 other poker players who participated in Full Tilt Poker’s $1K Monday and finished ninth, getting a $28k slice of the huge guaranteed jackpot of $2 million.
Here are a few details regarding multi-entry tournaments. You can identify multi-entry tournaments by the typical icon that is placed beside them in the tournament list. As the name suggests, you can buy-in several times to the same poker tournament; and each entry will get a chip stack and will be dealt a hand. You can play the same tournament several times simultaneously or play it over and over again to gain multiple chances to win. If you are out too early in the tournament, you can start again with another registered entry. Each entry will be placed at different tables, and if the number of entries exceeds the number of tables, Full Tilt Poker will merge two of these excess entries, which means that the chip stacks of both entries will be combined. You can play multi-entry tournaments in re-buy, knockout, and Rush Poker formats.
It was the merge feature of Full Tilt Poker’s multi-entry tournament, which helped Sowers make his fortune. Sowers had two entries left when the tournament reached its last two tables. His entries were merged at the final table, which enabled him to finish ninth. Full Tilt Poker mentions in its frequently asked questions section that a player having two entries left at the last two tables of a nine-handed tournament, the entries are merged at the final table and the player will be awarded the ninth finish.
When Sowers finished ninth, the other players at the final table began a long battle for the pot till just KagM7F7 and Sowers were left. Ultimately it was Sowers’ A6, which won against KagM7F7’s AJ. The win made Sowers richer by $4.6 million, and Alex “Kadabra” Keating, who finished fourth, got the first position in Card Player’s Online Player of the Year Race (OPOY) of 2011.
The final results of the tournament show Mike “SowersUNCC” Sowers as the winner. KagM7F7, who finished second, won $317,328; and Christ “MoormanI” Moorman, Alex “Kadabra” Keating, Mike “YrrsiN” Huber, Benjamin “Bttech86” Tollerene, Chris “Big Huni” Hunichen, and Mickey “Mement_mori” Petersen, who finished third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth, won $235,592, $177,896, $125,008, $81,736, $55,292, and $38,464, respectively. According to the rules of the multi-entry tournament format, Mike “SowersUNCC” Sowers was awarded the 9th finish because of the merged entries and won an extra $28,848.
This is by no means the largest poker tournament at Full Tilt Poker, which is currently running its Doubles Guarantees Week to be concluded with a huge $216 buy-in tournament with a guaranteed prize of $2.25 million.
