I’m in my first big tournament today, in about an hour. I play at Full Tilt because they’re the only site with a full-fledged client for OS X, as far as I know. Today’s tournament is part of their FTOPS series that they have every year. I’m pretty excited…the buy-in is $322, and the prize pool is a guaranteed $750K. I got in by winning a $6 six-seat SnG, which in turn got me into a $26 satellite. I won that tournament, too, which got me into the $300 big boy today. $6 to get $322…not too bad. I think first prize is something like $200,000. I’m going to play my game and see how it goes…some pros are playing, too, like Erick Lindgren, Allen Cunningham, Andy Bloch, Eric Froehlich and Toto Leonidas. It will be fun if I get to play against one of them…hopefully they don’t knock me out too early!!
