Full Tilt Skills Challenge: $3,000 Added Rush Poker This Week
Download Full Tilt Poker via PokerNews to play in Wednesday's $5+$1 Rush Poker with $3,000 added event, taking place at 16:00 EST.
337 players made it for Event #4 in the PokerNews Skills Challenge League, which was a $10 deep-stack tournament with $5,000 added to the prize pool. The eventual winner was JIRANZANA of Chile, who picked up $1715.85 and booked a high leaderboard placement.
You can still take part in the League, which takes the best five results, rather than all eight, to make up the leaderboard rankings. Only four League events remain, but a high finish still could be enough to get you into the top 200 of the the final leaderboard (and if not, there are, of course, the money-added exclusive tournaments every week).

Fast-Track Your Way to the $20,000 Freeroll
If you miss out on the League, don’t have the time, or just want to guarantee your spot, you can get there directly, without playing any of the League events. That’s because any PokerNews referred Full Tilt Poker account holders who earn 200 Full Tilt Points April will be eligible to play, too.
The $20,000 freeroll is likely to have one of the smallest fields, but one of the biggest prize pools you'll see, so whether you play the League or not, you want to get in on this action. If you have already been playing the League events in April, you will already have plenty of Full Tilt Points to get you started.
So whether you fast-track your way to the $20,000 freeroll or beat up the competition, if you’ve got the skills, we have the $55,000 added money you’ve been waiting for.
