Full Tilt Poker is Giving Away $310,000 in August Thursday, August 4th, 2005
Los Angeles (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) -– Full Tilt Poker is rewarding its players by giving away a total of $310,000 in the month of August in its “10K A Day”™ promotion.
The “10K A Day”™ promotion is open to anyone playing in one of Full Tilt Poker’s real money ring games, and players are awarded with entries into the daily drawing for every pot they win. The more hands a player wins, the more entries they receive, and there’s no limit to the number of entries they can receive per day.
Full Tilt Poker is awarding 127 individual cash prizes per day totaling $10,000. A new drawing period begins at 12 Midnight ET each day, and winners are announced live on Full Tilt Poker each evening. If a winner is not online at the time his or her name is announced, they receive email notification from Full Tilt Poker. Additionally, the usernames of each winner are posted online daily at www.FullTiltPoker.com.
Normally, to win this kind of money, players need to play in large, multi-player tournaments or high-limit ring games. But now at Full Tilt Poker, players participating in real money games with limits as low as a 5 and 10 cents per hand can win an individual prize worth as much as $2,000 simply for winning a pot.
“The groundbreaking ‘$10K A Day’™ promotion is just another example of how Full Tilt Poker delivers value and excitement to its customers,” said Tiltware LLC CEO Raymond Bitar.

Prolific movie star Jennifer Tilly also a big-time poker winner
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005 By John Hartl
Special to The Seattle Times
Jennifer Tilly makes so many independent movies that her life sometimes revolves around film festivals. In fact, she made "Saint Ralph" (opening here Friday at several theaters), while she was promoting another low-budget picture (a spoof of Canadian show-biz called "Hollywood North") at the Toronto Film Festival. "I was getting ready for Toronto when I got this call about a movie that was going to be shooting there," she said by phone from Los Angeles. "A lot of actors were in town for the festival, so they planned the shooting schedule around that." At first she was wary that the picture might be something cheap and silly — she imagined "Murder at the Toronto Film Festival" — but reading director Matthew McGowan's script convinced her that she'd have to find the time to do it. more >>>
