Full Tilt Poker will match 100% of the money donated to the Hurricane Katrina relief fund by their players in this weekends charity poker tournament

Friday, September 9th, 2005

FullTilt Poker would like to thank everyone who helped make last weekend's charity relief tournaments such overwhelming successes. Between the 19 pros and the nearly 2,000 Tilters who played in our Friday and Sunday night tournaments, we raised $19,280 to aid the victims of Hurricane Katrina. And, because Full Tilt Poker matched 100% of your donations, together we have already sent $38,560 to the American Red Cross' Hurricane 2005 Relief fund.

Considering the overwhelming scope of this disaster, we believe there's more we can do. That's why we're asking you to join us again this weekend when we hold two more charity tournaments to assist the victims of this devastating storm. Please keep reading for details.

In addition to these worthy charity tournaments, we have a lot going on this weekend. On Saturday, we're holding our $200K Guarantee tournament and our final qualifier for the WPT's Borgata Poker Open. On Sunday, please join us for our last satellite into our "Need For Speed"™ heat at the World Speed Poker Open in London, England.

Details on all of this week's events can be found below. And remember to take advantage of our 100% Sign-Up Bonus so that you can play all the ring games and tournaments you want.

As we already mentioned, we have already sent more than $38,000 to aid the victims of Hurricane Katrina thanks to many of you and our Full Tilt Poker pros.

Based on the success of those events and the ongoing need of those whose lives were so severely impacted by the storm, we are hoping to do even more to help. Our goal is to surpass last week's results, and we are again asking that you take some time out of your weekend to help those who cannot currently help themselves.

Please join us at one – or both – of our next two charity tournaments scheduled for 9:15PM ET on Friday, September 9th and 4:30PM ET on Sunday, September 11th. Like last week, registration for each of these events will be $20 + a $10 donation to the American Red Cross' Hurricane 2005 Relief fund. Also like last week, Full Tilt Poker will match 100% of the money donated to the relief fund by our players. Together, we can make a difference.
