Full Tilt Poker is one of the most popular poker sites available online and one reason they are so popular is for their weekend tournaments. Early afternoon on Sundays means it is time for The Sunday Mulligan and The Sunday Brawl at Full Tilt. This past weekend the tournaments had a great turnout and both increased their prize pools well over the guaranteed amount.
The Sunday Mulligan is a $200,000 guaranteed tournament and it has a buy-in of $200 plus 16. This weekend the tournament had 1,222 players participating so 117 spots would be paid out of the $244,400 prize pool. The large number of participants increased the prize pool by $44,400.
In the end it would be online players Luukie21 and steamcontrol who would be competing for the first place prize. Both would make it to heads up play and would want to be the last player standing. But there can only be one winner and when the cards were right, Luukie21 made all the right moves to become the first place winner.
Final Results:
Luukie21 – $53,768
steamcontrol – $34,216
BotOFallBOTS – $25,173
Mig_com – $19,858

Mescalin8 – $10,998
axe38 – $7,332
Bttech86 – $5,499

The Sunday Brawl had even participants than the Sunday Mulligan and the prize pool was increased to a much larger amount. The Sunday Brawl has a buy-in of $240 plus 16 and is a knockout tournament. The tournament offers a guarantee of $400,000 in prize money and with 2,621 players competing; the prize pool would be increased by $124,000. 279 spots would be paid with first place earning just over $106,000.
The difference between first and second was just over $38,000 so both ThatsFrushedUp and El Spewtardo wanted to be the last player standing when it came to heads up play. Both tried their best to knock out the other player but it would take some time before a winner would be named. In the end ThatsFrushedUp would gain the chip lead for the final time and go all in. El Spewtardo would call his all in but his cards would not hold up and ThatsFrushedUp would take the first place win.
Final Results:
ThatsFrushedUp – $106,413
El Spewtardo – $68,670
Caio Brites – $50,847
