Full Tilt Skills Challenge: Go Heads-up for $2,500 Added Money this Week

Full Tilt Poker

Download Full Tilt Poker via PokerNews to play in Wednesday's event, a $5+$0.50 Heads-up Turbo with $2,500 added. It takes place at 1600 EDT (4 p.m. EDT, 2300 GMT).

Event #5 of the PokerNews Skills Challenge League, a $5 Rush Poker tournament with an added prize pool of $3,000, saw 296 players enter. The eventual winner was "reRomeo" of Russia, who picked up $918.40 for the win.

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 three League events remain, but a high finish could still be enough to get you into the top 200 of the final leader board. Even if it doesn’t, you still don’t want to miss out on these added-value prize pools.

Fast-Track Your Way to the $20,000 Freeroll

If you miss out on the League event, 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 holder who earns 200 Full Tilt Points in April will also be eligible to play.

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'll want to get in on this action. If you have been playing the League events in April, you will already have plenty of Full Tilt Points to get you started.

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. Download Full Tilt Poker via PokerNews and use bonus code PKRNEWS to get in on the action. It's also good for a 100%, up to $600 first-deposit bonus.
