Full Tilt Poker has announced that they will be adding four $250,000 tournaments to their January tournament schedule.  The great thing about these tourneys is that the buy-in is only $5 + $0.50.  The tournaments will take place on the first four Sundays of January at 1:45pm EST each week.  These small risk, huge reward tournaments are great for players with small online poker bankrolls who want to take a stab at instant riches.

There are even satellites into these tournaments for players who only have a couple of bucks left in their Full Tilt accounts.  These satellite tourneys range from 150 FTP’s to $1.50 tournaments.

These tournaments are only $5 + $0.50 so there is no reason not to give yourself the shot at a big score to start off the new year.  For players with rakeback accounts the fee is even less because you will be receiving 27% of that $0.50 back.  These little big tournaments are going to be a ton of fun and they will be some of the largest tournaments ever held online.  Just to account for the guaranteed prize pool, 50,000 players must enter each of these four tournaments.  With that many players there is definitely some big money to be won for the top 1000 or so players!

Sundays are lazy days anyways so if you are bored you might as well try to turn $5 into a small fortune during your afternoon!  Small risk, huge rewards!  That’s what Full Tilt’s little big tournaments are all about.

Full Tilt Poker is back with another 25K heads up championship, this time in Pot Limit Omaha.  Once the event plays down to the semi-finals, leaving 4 players, sweat tournaments will be set up, where you can play in $10 multi-table tournaments of the pro you think will win the heads up championship.  If your pro goes on to win the heads up tournament and you make the final table in the sweat tournament you win a share of the $5000 in added money as shown below:

1st – $1500
2nd – $1000
3rd – $800
4th – $600
5th – $400
6th – $250
7th – $200
8th – $150
9th – $100

You can only play in one of the remaining pro’s sweat tournaments and cheer them on as you work your way to the final table.  The sweat tournaments will start at 3:30pm EST on Sunday, September 7th.

Overview
I played in the Brian Hastings sweat tournament during the 25K NL hold’em heads up championship and have to say it was fun flipping back and forth between my tournament and Brian’s heads up tournament.  David Singer went on to win that heads up championship, and if memory serves me right, the least number of players joined his sweat tournament, which shows he was looked at as the underdog.  If you enjoy watching pro’s play heads up, and are interested in playing a great value tournament, you should definitely play the sweat tournaments.
