I think I will try to sat. my way in. All Kinds of red pros in this, a good chance to earn a tshirt

 

[nevadanick]

I'm signed up, do you guys think this will be a donkfest? Anyone heard if there will be another freeroll?

Donkfest? Absolutely !!! The Guinness World Record one at Stars certainly was, this will be no different. Buy-in for the Stars Guinness game was $11 (plus the satty's) and it was still a major donkfest. FT's is only $5.

it has a max of 50K players........

I think they will hit the record and take away from Stars

With their advance warning that it will take up to 15 minutes for seating, I think they are counting on seating as fast as 1,000's bust out. If I recall, Stars Guinness game didn't start until everyone was seated.

It may be interesting to see if FT's servers will even be able to handle that kind of traffic. Stars was concerned that their 35k player attempt was pushing the limits of their servers. I'll be surprised if FT's survives without a major crash.

Won't be hard for Stars to pull off a larger monster than that since the pic above shows that Stars already surpassed 50k without it even being a 'record' attempt with 53k+ in a FREEROLL.

Not really, Stars' 35k Guinness game didn't. This will be even funnier though with all the $5 plus satty buy-ins.

[JupeZ]

Won my seat to this from 1st 0.25 rebuy. Spent buy in and add-on to make it to the game.

The tournament won't start until everyone is seated. If you wasted the time (like I did) to play in a 5 FTP tournament it took 3-4 minutes to get seated but the game didn't start until everyone was seated.

As for the donkfestiness (gosh my spell checker doesn't like that word) of the event, I suspect a lot of all ins early with nothing in the hands. In a way it's probably the best way to play one of these events. I mean who wants to be sitting there after an hour with the same starting stack?

 

[arahel_jazz]

Meh... PS put up a $1 buy-in that is on the high side of 50,000 right now.
FT has no chance to beat it.

pokerstars destroyed the whole fun whit there shit 1$ tourny now they got like 68 thousand registerd!

 

[only_bridge]

But I like the Fulltilt one better. 89pro's in it so far, hope I get to oppose one of two.

 

[CryingAmy]

You think pokerstars would let FT just take the record without doing anything about it? LOL

Think it's kinda cheeky to have it on the same day though!

Ruthless....

I have just unregistered from both- figure they're both going to take about 7-8 hours and with work tomorrow wouldnt like to do well and then have to sit out but gl to all who play.

 

[ryodejaneiro]

A quick observation - I found it interesting that when you divide 50,000 by 9 you get: 5555.55. Of course there's 5556 tables but I guess FT really wanted to make use of the number 5 during this promotion!

 

[Behrens900]

all tables are up
looks like they are adding one player to each table at a time
good luck everyone

i busted to a cardschat member in the FTP record tourney, what are the odds of that?

Wow!
What a tournament is all I gotta say..6 hours of playing.
I finished in 910 out 50,000 which isnt too bad..

How did everyone else do?

 

[abomb576]

What was the payout range, i.e 1-200?

 

[GENUCOM]

Top 7500 I believe
1st got $45,000 <--I'd take that

 

[only_bridge]

Went out on the very first hand. Had AQ on sb, raised preflop, got one caller. Flop came Q73, I bet pot, he shoved all-in, I called. He had TT, and I was more than 90% favourite, but he hit his T on the turn.

 

[rcman1980]

I lost twise with AA on that tourney!!!!! vs one player( only) flop.
vs 88 (19%) and vs AK S (11%).
what are the chances ????!!!!???
Full tilt start to piss me out !!!!
i lost 500$ last two month after i was up 2100$.
i think i need to cashout and stop playing for alot of money.

 

[AtiFCOD]

Unfortunatelly I dropped out after the first break.
My 1010 failed against AK...

I see it wasnt the pros' day. None of them got in the top 500.

 

[absoluthamm]

I didn't play in either one because I didn't have the time yesterday, but I was checking the updates and it looked to me like 3/4 of the pros were just sitting out the entire time. I think there were only 16 of them that even made the money. The 2nd to last time I checked it seemed like half of them had less than 200 chips, which to me looks like a sit out. I could be wrong because I didn't watch any of the tables to check, just where they went out looked funky
