Full Flush Poker Offers $100k Guarantee Tournament!
Full Flush Poker is hosting a huge tournament on Sunday January 4th at 5:02 PM ET that competes with some of the biggest weekly tournaments that any US friendly site offers. The tournament is the finale of a 4 month long promotion that is open to everyone and sports a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool to finish it out in style.
Full Flush Poker Strikes Gold with Promotion
When poker sites try to mix poker and pop culture many times it ends in embarrassing advertisements or hokey sounding promotions that fail to capture the attention of players in a good way. Full Flush Poker is successfully avoiding these common pitfalls by offering the promotion “The Game of Poker Thrones” and capping it off with the Main Event on Sunday, January 4th at 5:02 PM ET. It’s a $90 + $9 rebuy plus add-on tournament that is offering a $100,000 prize pool and is sure to have some great value to all players. However, players will also strike gold with this promo. It is twice as large as any tournament ever run on Full Flush Poker. Their last 50k tournament, less than two months ago, overlaid by $14,000 USD. The overlay in this 100k tournament will likely be at least as large, if not larger (they aim high on purpose, it's part of their marketing strategy!).
Promotion Overview
Like the name makes it sound this promotion is based on the popular HBO TV show “Game of Thrones” and ties nicely in with the different characters and important settings of the show. The promotion which started on September 8th allows players to play in different types of Sit n’ Go tournaments to win entry into the finale which is this Sunday. The first path to the Main Event has players entering in 10-man single table tournaments. There was 4 buy-in levels and players could either move on to the next level, stay at the current one or retry the climb again depending on their finishing place. They also had similar paths for 6-man and heads up Sit n’ Go players to qualify.
Another interesting wrinkle to this promotion is that you received a promotional specific currency called “Swordsmen” when you placed in one of the satellites. This means that you could have qualified for this tournament by collecting enough “Swordsmen” and never actually having to move up to another level. This allows players to keep playing a lower level if they don’t feel comfortable playing in satellites worth as much as the higher level ones would be. Also, players can earn rebuys for the tournament fairly easily by grinding the different levels out. Players can also switch between the different games or levels as they see fit by either using the “Swordsmen” or buying in directly.
This promotion draws a perfect balance of bringing in new players by using a popular culture reference while not changing what the site fundamentally is about or how it operates. There are no hokey cash drawings, weird requirements or added features with the exception of a currency substitute that isn’t needed if players chose to buy directly into the Main Event. It is also a promotion that promoted poker through poker, and not tying in any other kind of requirements or cross-promotion, which has become increasingly rare for networks.
Conclusions
Full Flush Poker is the primary site on the Equity Poker Network. While EPN has seen its fair share of problems in the past couple of weeks with skins leaving, Full Flush Poker is trying hard to bring new players in and increase interest in the site. They offer a whole host of promotions and tournaments and provide a very solid software platform for players to use.
