Full Tilt Poker has just made poker history (again)! For the fourth season now, Full Tilt Poker held its Million Dollar Cash Game, with filming just wrapping up in London – and this year it boasted a $1.1 million dollar pot, which turns out to be the biggest cash pot ever in a televised poker game.
All the Team Full Tilt Red Pro favorites were out in spades: Patrik Antonius, Allen Cunningham, Chris Ferguson, Gus Hansen, Phil Ivey, and Mike Matusow, as well as rumored future Full Tilt Pro, Tom “durrrr” Dwan – each player contributing at least $100,000 to the pot.
Among the highlights was an enormous pot with Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonius (two frequent rivals at the Full Tilt Poker high-stakes cash tables) going at it heads-up. At the end, Antonius’ pocket Kings beat Dwan’s pocket Aces.
It came down to Dwan, Antonius, and Ivey at the end (appropriate not only because Ivey is one of the November Niners await the World Series of Poker Main Event Final Table, but because he too goes up head-to-head with Tom Dwan frequently at the high-stakes cash tables, usually in Pot Limit Omaha).
And the winner of the fourth Full Tilt Poker Million Dollar Cash Game and the $1.1 million largest cash pot in televised poker history? Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan, making him an even bigger contender than ever for making Team Full Tilt.
The FullTilt Poker Million Dollar Cash Game will air in the UK in January of 2010 on Sky Sports, with commentary provided by another esteemed Full Tilt pro, Robert Williamson III.
