Full Tilt Poker has a weekly $5,000 guaranteed Razz tournament that runs every Tuesday at 20:45 ET. This is a decent starting time for US players, but not great for Europeans. Considering that Full Tilt Poker is one of the two good rooms for Razz players, we’d like to see them start this tourney about 2 hours earlier. Anyway, it’s one of the better weekly Razz tournaments, so here are the rest of the details.
This tournament has a $69+6 direct buy-in, or satellites can be played for as little as $12 or 300 FTP’s.
Players start with $3,000 chips and the blinds go up every 12 minutes. The top prize for the $5k guaranteed Razz Poker tournament is generally in the $1500-2000 range, with approximately 75-90 players. This tournament has been gradually attracting more and more players, but without too many sites talking about it, not many players even know it exists. Spread the word when you’re talking to friends or on poker forums and lets see if we can’t make this a $10K tournament soon.
