Full Tilt has recently introduced Jackpot Sit-and-Goes and the jackpot has already been awarded twice. The latest winner is Australian player All4AA who received $69,000 return on his $50 buyin. In fact, top three players got to share $100,000 reward after they were lucky enough to get seated in a SnG with 2,000 multiplier.

Once again the top two players decided to share the $90K, but this time it was not the even split like on the last occasion. 'All4AA' came into the heads up as a dominant leader, which helped him ensure a lions’ share of the reward.

I was nervous when the big one dropped. Two of us quickly hit the deal button, happy to split 3-ways, but that didn’t happen so we played All4AA Full Tilt Blog;

In fact, when the play got down to three, two players, including All4AA, were happy to chop it up, but one guy was against it, so no deal was made and they continued to play under extreme pressure.

The 28-year old Australian was able to catch a run of good cards and eliminate the Doko66 in third place, sending him home $10,000 richer. At this point, he had a commanding chip lead, with his 1,150 playing 350 of Mega Pixarb. At this point, the two decided to cut the deal, which ensured ‘Mega Pixarb’ additional $6,000. That meant his $50 investment made him $21,000 richer.

The $6k shave off of top prize still kept me very happy and content that I didn’t lose out to a series of unlucky hands

However, for ‘All4AA’, this was a real early Christmas. He walked away with $69,000, definitely not something he was used to seeing every day. For 28-year old, jackpot SnGs are not anything new, as he states he has played around thousand of them. This is exactly why he had no problem with giving up $6,000 as he knew that little bad run could make all the difference in the world.

Although there is always an ongoing debate about profitability of jackpot sit and goes and bad beat tables, those lucky few who strike the gold certainly don’t care too much. Perhaps it is a lottery, but it doesn’t make winning any less sweeter.
