Full Tilt Poker’s Piece of Ivey Promotion Begins Today

Full Tilt Poker’s Piece of Ivey Promotion Begins Today

Thursday, 8 October 2009

With just under a month to go before the anticipated 2009 WSOP Main Event final table, Full Tilt (and probably Phil Ivey too) have decided to offer Full Tilt players the chance to win a piece of the big man’s action.

From October 8th through November 5th, players who compete in the Piece of Ivey promotion will compete for 6% of Phil Ivey’s Main Event winnings and an additional $150,000 in cash prizes.


All you have to do is sign up for the promotion by going to the My Promotions section in the game Cashier, then follow the Piece of Ivey link to a web page where you can register. Then just compete in your favourite real-money games online at Full Tilt Poker. Tickets will be entered into three different draws:


• 5% of Ivey: Nine players will earn a spot in this special Sit & Go, where a prize pool equal to 5% of Phil Ivey’s Main Event winnings is up for grabs. Seats for the 5% of Ivey Sit & Go will be drawn at 10:00 ET on Friday, November 6th, and the tournament will take place at 14:00 ET on Saturday, November 7th.


• 1% of Ivey: Players can win a seat in this massive $50K Freeroll, where the winner will receive prize money equal to 1% of Phil Ivey’s Main Event winnings in addition to the first-place prize money. Seats for the 1% of Ivey Freeroll will be drawn at 10:00 ET on Friday, November 6th, and the tournament will take place at 14:00 ET on Saturday, November 7th.


• Daily Cash Draw: More than 600 cash prizes will be awarded each day during the Piece of Ivey promotion. Daily Cash Draws will take place at 6:00 ET every morning, and over $150K in total prize money will be given away.


With a top prize of more than $8.5 million at this year’s WSOP Main Event, one lucky player could win up to $425,000 if Ivey takes down the final table. Play will resume on November 7th and, although he is fairly short stacked with just under 10 million in chips, the seven-time WSOP bracelet winner is still one of the favourites to win the most prestigious title in poker and become the next World Champion.


Ivey will be joined at the Main Event final table by fellow Full Tilt Poker pros James Akenhead and Steven Begleiter. Akenhead is the table’s shortest stack, while Begleiter holds the third most chips in play.
