After an excellent run in January, Full Tilt Poker is bringing back Double Guarantees Week for a new slate of tournaments.
Beginning on March 28th, Full Tilt Poker will be at the epicenter of the online poker world. As in January, every guaranteed tournament until April 3rd will be worth twice its normal guarantee.
While its guaranteed events will be doubled throughout the week, Full Tilt Poker is also making a special effort to draw sizeable fields for its slate of Sunday tournaments. On the final day of Double Guarantees Week, Full Tilt Poker is tripling the guarantees of every Sunday event. This means that such popular events as the Sunday Brawl, Sunday Mulligan, and the $750,000 Guaranteed will be even busier than usual.
The Sunday Brawl has a regular guarantee of $350,000, but during Double Guarantees Week, the purse will be a whopping $1.2 million. The $750,000 Guaranteed should draw a humongous field, as its guarantee will be upped to $2.25 million. If you whiff on those tournaments, the Sunday Mulligan will be worth $600,000.
All of the guaranteed tournaments will offer Full Tilt’s Multi-Entry format, where players can enter as many as six times into the same event. With the Multi-Entry format, players can potentially alleviate the variances of poker by having multiple chances at victory.
Normally, Full Tilt Poker offers around $15 million in guaranteed tournaments throughout the week. During Double Guarantees Week from March 28th through April 3rd, the site will offer almost $37 million in guaranteed money.
When Double Guarantees Week was run in late January, players looking for their piece of history besieged Full Tilt. In the $1K Monday, the prize pool was doubled from $300,000 to $600,000. The tournament generated a field of 1,454 entries, which easily cracked the guarantee by offering a prize pool of $1.4 million. By the time the tournament ended, popular online and live tournament pro Shaun Deeb had walked away with a first place payday of $312,610.
For the $750,000 Guaranteed run during the previous Double Guarantees Week, the prize pool was doubled to $1.5 million. 14,409 entries made for a prize pool that broke the $2.8 million mark. A bevy of the Full Tilt pros, as well as other top online players, took their shot at taking down the $439,877 first place prize. One of the top players in the business, DoylesRoom Brunson 10 member David Sands, made the final table and finished eighth for $40,345, while “BtCh I MiTe Be” walked off with the top prize.
