Full Tilt hosted its largest monthly tournament this weekend, the Sunday $1 million Guarantee, worth a whopping $200k to the winner. That honor went to "UFman2" as he outlasted a sizeable field of more than 2,000 participants.
On every other Sunday of the month, the FullTiltPoker.com tournament schedule is laced with a $750k GTD, but more often than not it results in a small overlay. As the ante was upped to $1 million guaranteed on the second-to-last Sunday of the month, however, Full Tilt Poker drew a much more willing crowd of 2,194; enough to raise the guarantee $1.097 million.
The action got underway at 6pm ET as eager participants took to the tables for their shot at the massive prize pool. It was until a few minutes past 5am the following morning that a victor emerged. The final table came down to “UFman2” and “Gator93”, set to battle it out in heads-up after eliminating the 3rd place winner, “bellbop”, who collected a respectable $81,178.
In the end, UFman2 outlasted Gator93, claiming the honor of first place victor, along with an incredible paycheck of more than $200k. Gator93 took home $123,961 for the 2nd place finish.
