Give yourself multiple chances to make a big tournament score with Multi-Entry Tournaments, a unique tournament format exclusive to full tilt poker.


How it Works

Multi-Entry Tournaments allow you to register for the same tournament numerous times, meaning you can “multi-table” a single tournament!
Each of your entries in a Multi-Entry Tournament will have its own chip stack and be dealt its own hand. You can register multiple entries at the same time, or use additional entries as a “second chance” if your first entry is eliminated from the tournament in the early stages of play.
Your entries will always be seated at different tables, and if you have more entries than there are tables left in the tournament, two of your entries will be “merged” into one.
Getting Started

Multi-Entry Tournaments are available in a variety of different tournament formats, including Rush Poker, Knockout and Rebuy variants.

Entry Mergers

Because two of your entries cannot be seated at the same table, if you have more entries than there are tables left in the tournament, two of your entries will merge together. When an entry merger takes place, whichever entry is being moved from a broken table will be merged with your entry that has the smallest stack.
For example, say you have three entries and there are three tables left in a Multi-Entry Tournament. One table breaks, so your entry from that table will merge with your entry with the smallest stack and the chips for both of those entries will be combined into one stack.


Cash twice or more in any 1UP Multi-Entry Tournament to win bonus Tournament Tickets. Just like your favorite video games, achieve multiple 'high scores' to get free lives!
You can register up to four entries into each 1UP tournament and can win a maximum of three bonus tickets for cashing multiple times. Even better, you can earn up to $5,000 for merging your entries before reaching the final table.
The 1UP Multi-Entry Tournament boasts a $4,000 guaranteed prizepool and runs daily at 13:20 ET, with buy-in set at $5 + $0.50.
Bonus Tournament Tickets

Once two or more of your entries have survived the bursting of the bubble in a 1UP tournament, you are guaranteed a bonus prize of Tournament Tickets, in addition to your cash prizes. The tickets, valued at $5.50 each, can be used to register for future 1UP tournaments. The number of tickets awarded depends on the number of your entries that win cash prizes:
  • If two of your entries win cash prizes, you will be awarded one bonus ticket
  • If three of your entries win cash prizes, you will be awarded two bonus tickets
  • If all four of your entries win cash prizes, you will be awarded three bonus tickets
Bonus tickets will be credited to your account automatically.
Extra Prizes for Merging Entries

As a further incentive, merge two or more of your entries – and combine the chip stacks – before reaching the final table to win a cash or Tournament Dollars (T$) bonus prize*. The amount awarded depends on the number of your entries that have merged by the time you have reached the final table:
  • If two of your entries have merged, you will be awarded T$50 in addition to your cash prizes
  • If three of your entries have merged, you will be awarded T$250 in addition to your cash prizes
  • If all four of your entries have merged, you will be awarded $5,000 in addition to your cash prizes
For more information on how tournament entries merge, visit the Multi-Entry Tournaments page.
Cash or T$ bonus prizes will be credited to eligible players' accounts within 72 hours.



Seems like a beautiful thing if you can cash and merge 4 stacks for $5.50 a buyin :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :albertein :albertein :albertein :albertein :albertein :albertein :albertein :albertein :albertein :albertein :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :icon_albi :icon_albi :icon_albi

This is very innovative thinking by Full Tilt Poker and could be very profitable to good players, but it can also be dangerous to your bankroll if you aren't carefull .

I think if you make the money in a multi entry tournament for $3.30 x 4 entries and cash all four and then merge four stacks It is plus ev for the $5,000.00 :)

thanks for the explanation, i really needed it,

i play mostly in ps but time to time in ftp, so yesterday i was playing the 1.10 at ftp, and a guy busted in level 14 (registration already closed) and later on appeared again in my table (i was confused but now i understand why)

but i have another question, you said if anyone ¨merge the four...¨ so i think that the only way to do it is if you reach the final table with the four entries,
is it that way?

basically you would have to reach 3 tables with 4 entries, then 2 tables with 3 entries, then FT with 2 entries to sit at the FT with you last entry that has now been 4 merged stacks. I think it will be a very very very long time before it happens if ever.

To have them all merge you'd need to take all your entries to final 4 tables... then to final 3 tables... then to final 2tables... then to final table. (getting all of your entries to 'ITM' would be a gazillion times easier than to have them all end up merging)
Curious to know >> how many players have won this $5k so far?

I think METS suck tbh. Okay in the micro buyins where having regs. in there with max. entries isn't going to be near as bad as say you're playing even a low/mid stakes MTT (nevermind High)... knowing you'll be facing 3 & 4x some of the best players (& just a ton of very good/tough opponents on multiple entries).
Say (for example) you're a CC member who's won yourself a ticket to play the $215, $250k gtd. on FTP. Yay! Maybe you (you being hypothetical) typically play $1 to $3 mtt & micro sng & do okay in them (breakeven or a bit better). It'd be daunting to realize that on your tables you'll be facing many of online poker's best tournament players. Phew!! You survive thorough the first 5 levels & even acquire a good stack... & you had the likes of Moorman, lukethafluke, Sheater, mindgame, bparis, chazmanchaz, Illini, kleath, cal42688, Flush_Entity, Munchen (etc. etc. with a couple of them getting KO'd) on your table. It's now just after 1st break, antes have kicked in, you've been moved to another table & wtf? There's Moorman, kleath, pocket00, bparis... etc. etc. AGAIN! (& again... & again... & again).
Even if you were a low/mid-stakes recreational player & comfortable with playing mid-high buyins, the fields of multi-entry mtt are going to be uber-tough & definitely -EV

I believe they're a losing proposition for the regs. in the longrun as well. ie. regs. playing vs. more 'reg. vs. fish' ratio doesn't sound like a good thing.

Much different in the micros (obviously) where there's a ton of terrible players, many who are buying in with multiple entries as well.

Also, merging of stacks can potentially be a bit of a rip-off as you can actually be losing tournament equity when your one stack automatically gets 10th place payout because the increase in chips on your other stack isn't necessarily directly proportional to the same increase in tournament equity.

+1

Yes great post, I agree this is plus ev for games below the 10$ buy in.

I believe I read that if your two stacks end up at the same table it auto merges, I mean I have been in some mtts where this happened and we were still in the early stages. Maybe it was a glitch in the table draws.

:confused:

Your stacks won't merge unless there aren't enough tables left to have one entry on each. (if you've got 3entries, none of them will merge until there's just two tables left in the tournament)
'merging' happens so that we don't have two of our entries playing on the same table.

Don't you have to pay the entry fee each time? At least rebuys are a one time fee.

I think maybe you are referring to the multi-day, not the multi-entry. But yes I saw a 3.30 5kgtd run with 20k+ in the prizepool of a multi-day on sunday. Think I might have to give a few of the smaller buyins a try if they are getting that kinda of crazy money at the end.

I figured so, easily confused, multi-entry vs multi-day (in which you can enter all days if you wanted because the final day2 is a multientry lol). They do have some nice prize pools though and got me looking to play the multi-day. i think its a great move, but also think they shouldn't have done away with the non multiday even though you can play both days on the same sunday which is essentially the same i suppose.

yay poker lol
