SnG Jackpot Hit at Full Tilt Poker

Full Tilt Poker’s recently introduced Jackpot Sit’n Gos turned out to be extremely popular with their players. Launched on June 24, the games saw droves of players take to the tables, so it almost immediately made sense for the site to add $50 buy-in SnGs to their initial selection of $1, $5 and $10 games. The peculiarity of these jackpot
SnGs lies not just in their special, 3-max, hyper-turbo structure, but also in the way the prize-pool is determined. As the game starts up, the prize-pool is set based on a multiplier attached to the buy-in. Now, most of the games feature a X2 multiplier, but there is the possibility of hitting a X2k multiplier, which is obviously what all the players are after.
Sign up to Full Tilt Poker now and hit their SnG Jackpot tables if you find these games appealing. They can indeed deliver quite a bit of value.
The $50 buy-in Jackpot SnGs were launched on August 1, and in less than a week, on August 6, the big one, the $100k jackpot, was taken down. Obviously, under normal circumstances, these 3-handed games are winner-takes-all ones, but when 3 players who have all paid $50 into the pot, play for $100k, the circumstances are all but normal. In such an instance, some money is guaranteed for all the participants. Third place is worth $10k, second place pays $15k and the winner takes home a massive $75k.
The player who had to settle for the smallest share of the jackpot was gismoR1, from Austria, who was bounced first. FdotFloss and SirSion, both from Australia then decided the split the remaining money down the middle for a 45k-45k payday.
In June, another jackpot went down at the Jackpot SNG tables. That time, Russia’s VSA24 was the one who walked away with the goods, having turned $10 into $15k.
Play at Full Tilt Poker and hit their Jackpot SNG tables for your chance to grab a share of a $100k jackpot.
