Full Tilt Poker Reopening, Illari Sahamies' Winning Streak, and WPT Legends of Poker Day 3 Highlights


PokerStars has acquired Full Tilt Poker, with Shyam Markus, the manager of the newly acquired room, discussing various topics including possible fund transfers between the two rooms, refunds for unfulfilled FTP points purchases, pending rakeback refunds, a mobile app, and software for Mac.

Illari Sahamies, known as Ziigmund, has had an impressive two weeks. He finished fourth in the Super High-Roller event of the EPT Barcelona, earning 291,000€. In the main event, Sahamies reached the final table and finished second, earning 629,700€. During his participation in the EPT, Sahamies also played against Isildur1 in an online poker game, adding nearly half a million dollars to his account.

In the WPT Legends of Poker Day 3, out of the 84 players who started the day, only 18 remain. Cyrus Farzad leads with 2,600,000 chips, followed closely by Greg Mueller with 2,396,000 chips. The top six players will advance to the final table, with the winner taking home 500,000$.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
