Now in it's fourth season Full Tilt Poker has wrapped up another production for television viewers. 'The Million Dollar Cash Game' is the world's richest poker game in TV history.

This year's game featured a prize of more than $1.1 million USD. In the Million Dollar Cash Game each all-star poker player puts up at least US$100,000 of their own money to compete in the invitation-only event. The line-up includes Team Full Tilt superstars Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Gus Hansen, Mike Matusow, Allen Cunningham and Patrik Antonius, along with high-stakes player Tom Dwan. Antonius and Dwan squared off early with lots of drama Antonius took home the huge $500,000 USD prize.

The money was changing hands rapidly as Dwan swayed into a winning streak against Cyril Mouly winning back a half million USD in that game.

Emblaze Productions,filmed the action in London, and was very happy with the outcome. At one point there was over $2,000,000 USD on the table.

Managing Director of Emblaze Productions, James Hopkins, said, "After almost 20 hours of play, other players stepped aside as the Million Dollar Cash Game turned shorthanded. Three of the world's elite players; Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius and Tom Dwan, started playing blinds of US$1k, US$2. It was great to watch." After a fantastic round of very high stake hands Dwan was the eventual winner of more than US $1.1 million, the largest pot ever to be won on a televised poker show.

Full Tilt Poker's Million Dollar Cash Game will be aired on Sky Sports in the U.K. this January 2010, and features commentary from Full Tilt Poker pro Robert Williamson III, another expert high-stakes poker player. This looks like a show not to be missed.
