Two-Day Sit & Go Madness at Full Tilt: $125K Up For Grabs

December 3, 2009

Enjoy Sit & Go Madness at FullTilt and win a share of over $125,000 – and a chance to play poker alongside some of the game’s greatest star players.

Sit ‘n Go Madness starts tomorrow, December 4, at 4 pm ET, and runs two days, exactly 48 hours, ending Sunday December 6 at 4 pm, so you’d better hurry (thus the “Madness” we assume). The competition is organized around leaderboards for participation in Full Tilt Poker’s Sit & Go tournaments. There are four different levels of participation: $1 – $2 stakes, $5 – $11 stakes, $20 – $33 stakes, and $50 – $110 stakes. So there’s a comfortable playing level for every player.

The Sit & Go Madness promotional period will be broken up into two 24-hour blocks, giving players twice as many opportunities to win big. Plus, the top 7 players in each 2-hour block of time will also get a cash prize, from $1 to $500.

An Overall Leaderboard is also being run for the entire 2-day period, with the top finisher in each group squaring off in a $5,000 Freeroll to be held on Saturday, December 12. There’s also a $50,000 Freeroll on that same day for everyone who has won at least two Sit & Go’s during the 2-day period.

Finally, there’s also a Sit & Go Madness Raffle. To win a ticket you just have to cash in one of these green-labeled Sit & Go Madness events (that is finish in the top 3 in a 9-player tourney or in the top 2 in a 6-player tourney). Over 1,000 prize are up for grabs including an FTP Deluxe Home Game Package including a poker table and stylish chip set.
