Full Tilt Poker Launches "Satellite Hero" Promotion

Full Tilt Poker’s latest promotion, Satellite Hero, offers players the opportunity to win their share of over $4000 in MiniFTOPS XXIII entries, as well as a one-on-one shot at sponsored Full Tilt Professional and bona fide ladies’ man Gus Hansen.

Starting today, August 19, and continuing on through September 1, players who satellite into and ultimately win any scheduled tournament with a buyin of $1 or more receive a free entry into the Satellite Hero Freeroll tournament, in addition to the normal prize. The more times you satellite into the tournament, the bigger your starting stack.

The freeroll is scheduled for Saturday, September 7. Finish in the top 126 runners in that freeroll to win an entry into a MiniFTOPS XXIII event. The total prize pool is valued at over $3000.

But that’s not all: The winner of that tournament will, the very next day, get their shot at The Great Dane himself. With a 2:1 starting chip advantage, should the player crowned Satellite Hero best the Professional, he or she will win entry into every MiniFTOPS XXIII event. There’s every reason to think that Hansen will be eager to defeat the Satellite Hero as, according to HighStakesDB, Gus is down over 3.4M online in 2013 alone.

“Satellite Hero” is another in a series of promotions looking to bring players back to the once-robust online site and regain its position as undisputed #2 in traffic.
