World leading internet poker site Full Tilt Poker is unveiling a new and innovative online poker client that incorporates innovative new features on both the front end and backend and makes for an easier poker playing experience.

The first thing players will notice is a brand new start up page including a new revamped look as well as a few brand new elements such as a list of random security guidelines shown on the bottom of the window. FullTiltPoker.com’s updated client gives players 3 separate lobby visualizations: Basic, Standard and Classic View.

The Basic View gives novice poker players the possibility of catching up with the new client and viewing the poker tables without the pressure of playing. The Basic View provides step by step reports on all the existing games of poker, and provides poker players the chance to choose their currency, game type, Game (Hold’em, Omaha Hi or HL, Stud and Mixed Games), Limit (Fixed, Pot or No Limit), and Stake. In addition customers can now observe the excitement before going in to a table with the brand new “Observe Table” option or by clicking on “Browse Table to check out the full list of accessible tables.

The Standard View gives information about all the available games and permits poker players to tailor the list of games and tables to display only the poker games of their choice. This choice also presents players the chance of deciding on the poker table by type, game, stake and view the poker tables before joining the action.

Full Tilt Poker Players can also choose the Classic view and keep FullTilt’s original lobby, however, this choice will be accessible for a short time only and will be terminated soon.

Both the Basic and Standard views also bring in inventive new aspects for example new revolving graphic screen placed on the left that presents Full Tilt Players straight entry to Full Tilt’s bonuses and events including the FTOPS, Iron Man, Play with the Pros, Full Tilt Poker Academy, Deposit Bonuses, and many other poker promotions and Full Tilt Poker Tournaments, as well as an option for video that allows Full Tilt Players to view videos directly from the Full Tilt Poker client.

Full Tilt Poker will attempt to stamp its name on the Guinness Records and to do so; the site has announced that it will try to set a new record for the Largest Online Poker Tournament. Full Tilt’s Record Breaker tournament was unveiled as the finale to FIVE, a week of events and promotions created exclusively to celebrate the site’s 5^th anniversary. The tournament will take place on July 19th at 15:05ET, players can buy in for this event for only $5 or 1000 Full Tilt Points and compete for a share of a $250,000 guaranteed with $250,000 added prize pool. Players can also get entries to this event by playing the online satellites available on the site and starting for as little as 30 cents or 50 Full Tilt Points.

Team Full Tilt pros and WSOP bracelet winners Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson and Phil Ivey have already confirmed they will take part in the event, offering players the chance to sit down at this historic tournament and play with some of the best high stakes and tournament pros in the world.

“By extending the limits of what is possible in online poker tournaments, Full Tilt Poker will allow players to compete for a big payout without the big buy-in,” said Team Full Tilt member Howard Lederer.

Putting together a poker tournament of this magnitude would be nearly impossible for any brick and mortar casino or poker room. The current record for the largest “live” poker tournament was set at the 2006 WSOP Main Event with 8,772 players. To break the current Guinness Record set by PokeStars.com in December, 2008, Full Tilt Poker will need to attract over 35.000 players. If successful, this tournament will establish Full Tilt Poker as World Record holder and cement its reputation as a world leader in online poker industry.

FullTiltPoker.net has recently launched an original informative site containing all the action of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an intense online heads up poker tournament highlighting some of the greatest high stakes poker players challenging the Heads Up Specialist Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The brand new section offers online poker players and fans the opportunity to stay on top of this historical internet poker challenge and check out timely statistical updates. With this innovative “durrrr Challenge” section fans can follow all the poker action and review each hand played during this poker challenge, and look at tons of statistics, including how many hands were played, session time, cash won, average won during each hand and lots more.

Around six months ago, the twenty-three year old internet poker pro handed out a heads-up poker challenge open to any poker player with the loot, time and ability to accept it. Any poker star entering the durrrr challenge has to wager $500,000 against durrrr’s $1.5 million. Dwan’s challenge states that a minimum 50,000 poker hands need to be played simultaneously at 4 or more poker tables of no-limit Hold’em or pot-limit Omaha. At the end of the challenge, the poker player who has more money will take home the pool. Basically if you enter the challenge and win a dollar after the 50,000 poker hands, then you will get Tom’s $1.5 Million, but if he succeeds by $1 then he will take home your $500,000.

Thus far, a number of professional poker players have accepted to play the “durrrr challenge”, including WSOP Champ Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, however, only Patrick Antonius has said yes to the Full Tilt Poker Challenge. Until now, both poker pros have taken part in a total of 20,647 hands out of 50,000, with Tom leading the count $726,546 total.
