The winner of the $234K Full Tilt Jackpot didn’t even believe his luck so he went on watching baseball.
This week, a player from Ontario won the 233,852 dollars Full Tilt jackpot. He was so fixed on the battle of Blue Jays against Atlanta Braves that at first he didn’t even realize the amount of his prize. “At first I thought I won $116, and thought it was kind of cool,” he remembers. Later on, he realized that his win was much bigger, as he scored the Full Tilt jackpot.
Full Tilt Jackpot through the ‘Player’s Club’
He’s the first winner of the ‘The Deal’ jackpot, which is a part of Full Tilt’s ‘Players Club’. During ‘The Deal’, players are dealt seven face-down cards and they have to select two to discard. The remaining five cards determine the win: the stronger the hand, the bigger the prize. The progressive jackpot grows with each round on the ‘The Deal’. After hitting a royal flush the player wins a chance for the Full Tilt jackpot.
‘The Deal’ offers other prizes as well. For example, a straight flush brings USD 200, while a full house offers 1,000 Full Tilt Points. The winner of the Full Tilt jackpot receives 50% of the sum and the other half will be distributed between those who played ‘The Deal’ in the 24 hours before the jackpot was won.
After the lucky Canadian’s score, 7,321 players got 15,97 dollars deposited into their Full Tilt account. It’s undeniable that using the mobile casino gambling app of Full Tilt was really profitable for the father of two. “I called my Dad and some friends – and told them I think I just won a jackpot on Full Tilt Poker,” he boasts.

When asked about his passion for online casino games he answers: “anything competitive, I like. Whether it is horse shoes or hockey or playing cards with friends, I get a kick out of competition.” The winner went with ‘The Players Club’ as his main choice to play online poker in Canada. The ‘Players Club’ is free to download from Full Tilt Poker’s official site, offering numerous benefits to users.
