THANKSGIVING WIN FOR FULL TILT POKER ACE
$600 000 win for poker ace Phil Gordon, who plans a donation for cancer research
Six of the world's best poker professionals and one online qualifier from Full Tilt Poker.net met at the poker table on Thanksgiving Day last week to compete for a $1 million prizepool in the Full Tilt Poker.Net Championship at Red Rock Resort and Casino.
Team Full Tilt member and best selling author and television host, Phil Gordon devoured the competition taking first place, winning $600 000.
Full Tilt Poker representative Roland de Wolfe took second place, winning $275 000. Other professional players in this star-studded, live tournament included Team Full Tilt members Erick Lindgren, John Juanda, and Allen Cunningham, and poker pro Toto Leonidas. The pros earned their seats in July 2006 by winning their respective heats at a qualifying shoot-out tournament, also held at the Red Rock Resort and Casino.
Rounding out the field was one of six online qualifiers who all won free trips to Las Vegas after playing online at FullTiltPoker.net. Once in Las Vegas, these online qualifiers competed against one another for the opportunity to play in the live, televised Championship event, which aired on Fox Sports Network. With a guaranteed prize pool of $1 million, even the seventh-place finisher was paid no less than $25 000.
Gordon pledged that a percentage of his $600 000 win will be donated to the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation's Bad Beat on Cancer initiative.
