The return of the Headhunter tournaments at InterPoker for every Sunday is kicking off with a big bang! How big you ask? Well, how’s $10,000 sound for a prize pool? It’s not just for this Sunday either. It’s for every Sunday at 7pm, UK time.

The goal is to finish first within the top 45 players so you can walk away with the biggest piece of pie. In order to get to the top, you’ll have to eliminate your competition. For every player you take out, you earn cash. The more players you take out, the more valuable your head becomes, so be careful! If your head is worth more than someone else’s, you’re sure to be targeted by many.

Upon entering this tournament, players will need to pay the $30 buy-in and $3 entry fee. The prize pool is then divided into two. 25% for heads, and the remaining 75% goes towards the big prize pool. The 25% that is set aside for the head value of every single player who takes part in the tournament is divided up equally. Players earn 100% of the head value of every player they eliminate.

At the end of the tournament, the last 45 players win a cash prize. The first place winner gets $1800, the second place winner gets $1300, the third place winner gets $1000, and the prizes get progressively lower, all the way down to the winners that rank through 31 – 45 get $45.

Get hunting this Sunday!

Players who prefer Microgaming-powered online casinos proved that they know what they’re doing.  Several jackpots were hit over the weekend including one on the progressive game, Jackpot Deuces. 

This is one of Microgaming’s most unique games in that it is not a slot machine game; it follows the rules of poker.  Jackpot Deuces is one of the few poker games with a progressive jackpot.  While there are multiple ways of winning, to win the jackpot a player must have a Royal Flush in the diamond suit.  A player over the weekend managed to get that hand and won almost $30,000.  Jackpot Deuces had been having a dry spell; the last time the jackpot was hit was more than two weeks prior to the most recent win.  This may not seem like a lot but the game is known to pay out often.  In fact, in the past month Jackpot Deuces has paid out the top jackpot four times!

Full Tilt Poker has the title of the world’s second largest poker room and they are hoping to keep it that way.  They are infamous for having poker tables with both high and low buy-ins and seasoned players have been taking advantage of those with low buy-ins. 

The problem is referred to as “rat-holing” and the players have been known to buy into a poker table with a low buy-in, win the pot which can be quite high but is based on the number of players and then take off with the winnings.  This affects the casino negatively because the winners don’t often return to play at their site again.

To combat this, Full Tilt will be increasing their buy-ins, with special focus on the tables whose buy-ins are lower than others.  Full Tilt Poker is hoping that this change will provide a solution to their problem and also boost the popularity of poker tables with higher buy-ins.  Operators are also saying that there will be more changes made to the site in the New Year but haven’t specified what they are just yet. 

Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars are the biggest competitors in the business when it comes to online poker; Full Tilt required changes in order to keep giving PokerStars a run for their money.  If you haven’t decided on a favourite poker table, you may want to wait and see what 2010 and Full Tilt Poker has to offer.
