It was reported that Full Tilt Poker was trying to set a new record for the largest online tournament this weekend, however their attempts were unsuccessful. They did however manage to rack up 50,000 players, but their competitor, Poker Stars, smashed them by having a similar tournament and having 65,000 players playing in it.
How did Poker Stars do it? They offered a very similar tournament for a fraction of the cost, not to mention they clearly have a larger player pool than Full Tilt Poker. Also, Full Tilt Poker put a cap on their tournament at 50,000. Now if you are trying to break records, why would you put a cap?
On any note, online poker players really are the one breaking records here. For mere dollars, lucky winners are walking away with giant prizes. Full Tilt Poker’s tournament held a prize pool of $500K, while Poker Stars tournament offered up a total prize pool of $130K. The winner of the Full Tilt Poker “The Record Breaker” tournament will walk away with $45,000.00, risking only $5.00.
This will only be a beginning to the battle of the who can create the larger tournament, as speculations see Full Tilt Poker trying this once again, but with a much smaller buy-in. The great thing about these type of battles, the online players are the ones benefiting the most.
