Full Tilt Poker Set to Host World's Largest Tournament

DUBLIN, July 15/PRNewswire/ -- Full Tilt Poker announced today that it will attempt to break the
official Guinness World Record(TM) for Largest Online Poker Tournament by
attracting more than 35,000 players to the table on July 19th at 15:05ET.

The Record Breaker tournament was unveiled as the finale to FIVE,
http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/five - a week of events and promotions honoring
the fifth birthday of Full Tilt Poker.

Team Full Tilt members and WSOP bracelet winners Howard Lederer, Chris
Ferguson and Phil Ivey are expected to participate, offering players the
chance to sit down at this historic event with some of the best high stakes
and tournament players 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.

Staging a poker tournament of this size would be nearly impossible in the
brick and mortar world. The current record for the largest "live" poker
tournament was set at the 2006 WSOP Main Event with 8,772 players.

Full Tilt Poker will need to attract nearly four times that number if the
Record Breaker is to live up to its name and secure the official Guinness
World Record. If successful, this tournament will establish Full Tilt Poker
as both a World Record holder and a world leader in online gaming technology.

The Record Breaker will begin on July 19, 2009 at 15:05 ET. Players can
be a part of the world record attempt for US$5 or 1000 Full Tilt Points and
compete for a share of a US$250K guaranteed with US$250K added prize pool.
