Full Tilt Poker Launches Steps Tournaments

DUBLIN, April 16, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Full Tilt Poker is pleased to announce the launch of Steps Tournaments, offering players the chance to win entry to larger buy-in tournaments - and claim shares of bigger prize pools - by working their way up the steps of a progressive series of tournaments.

Starting with buy-ins as low as $3.30, Steps Tournaments play like regular tournaments, except that players compete for Tournament Tickets to the next Step in the tournament series. Even if players don't advance to the next step, Steps Tournaments also award seats at the same level or a lower level. Players can also buy in directly at any step they choose or purchase Tournament Tickets.

Tournament Tickets are another option for players to buy in to their favorite tournaments, featuring a wide range of denominations and tournament options. Each Tournament Ticket is worth a specific buy-in amount and can be used to buy in to any tournament for the face value of that Tournament Ticket.

Players can win Tournament Tickets through Steps Tournaments, a variety of Satellite Tournaments and promotions, including Full Tilt Poker's Steps to the Main Event tournaments, offering players the chance to win a $12K WSOP* Main Event prize package for as little as $3.30.

LONDON, April 12, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- In a new first for an EPT event Patrik Selin, the only CEO of a major poker company to play regularly in the world's biggest poker tournaments, will be offering a personal EUR1,000 cash to whoever knocks him out of the EPT Grand Final in Monaco (April 25th-30th).

London-based Swede, Selin, has an impressive poker CV both on a business level and as a player, including the EUR 500,000,000 sale of the OnGame poker network to BWin in 2006 whilst OnGame's CEO. At the felts he won the Ritz Club Live Tournament in 2006 and was 2nd to Peter Gould in the 2007 UK Open Main Event.

Bodog Poker Network's CEO Patrik Selin commented: "I think it's a shame more senior management of poker rooms do not play at these events as it is the best way to find out what players want. Everybody at a live event is passionate about the game and happy to talk about their likes and dislikes which is invaluable to anybody running a poker room.

"Now I have raised the stakes and will be putting EUR1,000 straight into to the hand of the person who knocks me out which should make the banter even more fun in Monaco."
