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.

This Sunday, November 30th the CBS network will premiere their investigation special “How Online Gamblers Unmasked Cheaters”. This special investigation show was filmed after a 4 month examination into the online Texas Hold’em poker industry and in particular a con concerning the online Texas Hold’em site Absolute Poker.

This Texas Hold’em poker page was probed after some of the Texas Hold’em poker players on the site stated that a player was illegally winning an incredible amount of money. Todd Witteles was a major witness in this study, according to him; he was losing huge amounts of cash to the very same Texas Hold’em poker player. Witteles says that this man was raising against awfully good poker hands, anyone would have believed he was simply handing over his money, but he was in fact winning poker chips.

Witteles was correct about his statements, later on it was discovered that a player who knew about the site was able to see any poker player’s hole cards. At first look, Absolute Poker stated that there were no issues with the page or the poker competitor. After numerous players came forward with accusations, the poker website investigated further into the situation and made the discovery.

In January of 2008, the KGC exposed what the Texas Hold’em players and the Texas Hold’em page had assumed all the time. The investigation proved that, there was an employee who had invaded the Texas Hold’em page’s security system and was competing dishonestly for approximately six weeks. The investigation proved that the Texas Hold’em room had not profited from the illicit behavior in any way, and was definitely not implicated.

These issues are further confirmation that there must be more control in regards to online poker pages. The US government needs to license and control the online gambling business to shield these upright consumers. These laws would also police the admission to these websites by children, which tends to be another issue nowadays.

More than likely when you talk about Texas Hold’em poker with them, they would almost certainly imagine some guys sitting around their kitchen table having conversations and drinking beer.
