Full Tilt’s Daily Double Poker Progressive Jackpot
|
Visit Full Tilt Poker |
Great name for a Great Promo! Full Tilt Poker’s Team has done it again! They have established a fantastic daily event with high pay out.
Players will find that registering for two almost simultaneous tournaments will be a challenge but the pay out would be well worth it. One dollar from each of the 10+2 buy in events goes toward the following day’s progressive jackpot. If you win in both tournaments you’re looking at a wealth of bankroll flowing your way. First you rake in your tournament winnings, both tournaments, as soon as the events end. Follow that up with the Double Win, which pays 75% of the jackpot for the day, combined with the Double Final Table paying out an additional 20% of the day’s jackpot. Not to hold anyone back from incredible bankroll increases, win the Best Double Finish, which pays an additional 2% for the achievement. Not so bad for a two-table tournament play.
Due to the low buy in, Satellites are not associated with this daily double, however they will be used to lead into some of the largest event packages available at FullTiltPoker.com
