Poker Pros at Full Tilt

Poker Pros Play at Full Tilt Poker

Some of the most recognized poker pros spend their free-time in the Full Tilt poker rooms, and you can watch them play and even chat with some of them. On a lot of other poker rooms the pros play under a moniker that nobody can relate to their identity, but on Full Tilt poker all the pros use their real names and also add a picture of themselves.

The world of professional poker isn’t full-time by any means which means all of the pros have lots of spare time. Now many play cash games and do lots of traveling and things of this nature, but when there at home they usually can be found on the computer in the Full Tilt poker rooms. The action is incredible and if you haven’t watched any of the pros play yet on Full Tilt then you’re missing some great entertainment. Anyone can go and watch the pros playing and usually there are hundreds of people who watch and chat in the chat system. Some of the pros will even chat with the onlookers which makes the experience very rewarding. On a regular basis the pots can reach well into the thousands of dollars and on some occasions there will be pots into the hundreds of thousands.

Some of the poker pros that you can watch playing in a Full Tilt poker room are Gus Hansen, Phil Ivey, Andy Bloch, Chris Ferguson, Jennifer Harmon, John Agostino, David Benyamine, Erick Lindgren, Mike Matusow and a few others as well. This is one heck of a list of poker pros and all are very established players. Some of them play more actively then others in the Full Tilt poker rooms, but nonetheless you can find any given pro on any given night playing in the high limit cash games.

Typically you’ll find the pros on the high limit $200/$400 – $1000/$2000 Texas Holdem or Omaha cash tables. The action is often very fast paced and just watching it gives me the goosebumps. I wish I could sit down at a table with them, but I don’t think I will ever find myself sitting down at a table with blinds over the $10/$20 mark.

From reports that I’ve read from the poker pros who use Full Tilt the pro with the worst luck is Mike Matusow, who himself reported losses of 2.5 million online. I don’t know what kept him going after about the first million in losses, but hopefully he can turn his luck around and get back to even.

Omaha pot limit is one of the fastest paced poker games you’ll ever watch and you don’t want to miss this tournament. It’s the biggest buy-in ever for a PLO heads-up tournament and it won’t disappoint. I’ll be around in the Full Tilt poker rooms throughout the tournament watching some of the action and I hope to see you there as well.

Full Tilt Players at the 2008 WSOP Final Table

Full Tilt Representatives for the 2008 WSOP Main Event Final Table

The World Series of Poker main event final table is scheduled to commence on November 9^th 2008 and Full Tilt poker has three players representing them at the table. With three out of nine seats at the final table of the World Series of Poker main event you can see how good the players are at Full Tilt. What’s even more remarkable is that the players representing Full Tilt at the final table aren’t even any of the pros you’d expect to be at the table. I’ve never heard of any of the three players who will be playing, but after reading their biographies on the Full Tilt website they seem like cool guys. All three of them have had incredible luck in the online poker ring and have made lots of money. We’ll now take a look at the three players who will be representing Full Tilt poker this year at the 2008 WSOP main event final table.

Scott Montgomery

· 26 Years Old

· Born in Perth, Ontario, Canada

· Lifetime Tournament Earnings of $1.1 Million

· Chip Stack for Final Table is 19,690,000

· He is Seated in Seat #4 for the Final Table

Craig Marquis

· 23 Years Old

· Born in Arlington, Texas, United States

· Lifetime Tournament Earnings of $935K

· Chip Stack for Final Table is 10,210,000

· He is Seated in Seat #2 for the Final Table

Kelly Kim

· 31 Years Old

· Born in San Pedro, California, United States

· Lifetime Tournament Earnings of $1.2 Million

· Chip Stack for Final Table is 2,620,000

· He is Seated in Seat #8 for the Final Table

Craig Marquis is the youngest player representing Full Tilt and will also be the youngest player at the table. If Craig wins the main event then he’ll become the youngest player to ever win the WSOP main event which would be an amazing accomplishment for this twenty-three year old.

Kelly Kim who brings the most experience to the table out of the three players representing Full Tilt will need to use his experience to his advantage because he is starting in last as the short stack. Kelly has just over 2.5 million in chips and is about 7.5 million away from eighth place Craig Marquis.

Scott Montgomery will be starting in third place with almost 20 million chips and will be in the best position for a Full Tilt poker player to win the WSOP main event title. Poker is a crazy game and all three of these great players will have a great shot at bringing home the gold for themselves and for Full Tilt. The winner will win just under $10 million in hard cold cash as well so there is 10 million reasons why these three players want to win.
