Full Tilt Poker was very busy this past weekend as thousands of players registered for their guaranteed poker tournaments. Both the $750k guaranteed and The Sunday Brawl saw very good turnouts and both had an increase in the prize pool. But it was The Sunday Brawl that saw the largest increase, so much so it almost broke the $150,000 mark.
The $750k guarantee has a buy-in of $200 plus 16 and with 3,838 players competing the prize pool was increased by $17,600 which created a total prize pool of $767,600. 522 spots were paid but first would be the only place to earn a six figure pay day.
When the tournament got down to three way play the competitors decided to chop the pot. Perlini1 would finish in third to earn $66,061 and buttsauce33 and TheRyanKing07 would be left to compete in heads up play for the remaining prize money. TheRyanKing07 would be able to overtake buttsauce33 and would earn the $112,819 first place prize.
Final Results:
TheRyanKing07 - $112,819
buttsauce33 - $92,889
perlini1 - $66,061 *3-way chop
Paul Merson - $42,372

The Sunday Brawl was the most impressive tournament of the day as it saw a Huge increase in prize money. The tournament has a buy-in of $240 plus 16 and with 2,483 players registered, the tournament saw an increase of $146,600 in prize money. This meant that $496,600 would be up for grabs instead of the $350,000 that is guaranteed. This tournament paid out to 234 players.
After some time heads up play would begin between online player's tong26 and endlessj83. Both would play hard but there could only be one winner. In the end tong26 would be named the victor and would take home the $101,282 first place prize, which was almost $40,000 more than second place.
Final Results:
tong26 - $101,282
