Full Tilt Skills Challenge: $2,500 Added Rebuy Coming Up
Download Full Tilt Poker via PokerNews to play in Wednesday's event, a $5+$1 Rebuy with $2,500 added. It takes place at 1600 EDT (4 p.m. EDT, 2100 GMT).
Event #6 of the Full Tilt Poker Skills Challenge, a $5+$0.50 heads–up tournament with $2,500 added saw 269 players enter. "RafaTofara" of Latvia walked away the big winner, beating "CantPlayThem" in the final for $942.02.
The next event was scheduled to be a $5+$0.50 Multi-Entry tournament. However, b ecause of reasons beyond our control, we have had to change the format. Event #7 will now be a $5+$1 rebuy with $2,500 added to the prize pool. In recognition of this last-minute change to the schedule, we have decided to make this event a 2x multiplier event, which means that a good result in this tournament alone could be enough to get you in the final 32 of the leaderboard – even if it’s your first event.
