Full Tilt new client software gives players 3 distinct lobby views: Basic, Standard and Classic View.

The Basic View offers novice poker players the opportunity of catching up with the new poker client and viewing the games without the demands of participating. The Basic View provides step by step reports on all the existing poker games, and gives players the ability to decide on their currency, type of game, Game (Hold’em, Omaha Hi or HL, Stud and Mixed Games), Limit (Fixed, Pot or No Limit), and Stake. In addition poker players can now check the action before joining a poker table with the new “Observe Table” choice or click on “Browse Table to view the list of open tables.

The Standard View provides information about all the existing poker games and allows poker players to modify the list of poker games and tables to present only the poker games of their preference. This option also offers players the possibility of choosing the type of table, poker game, stake and view the tables before jumping in the poker action.

Poker players can also select the Classic view and stay with Full Tilt Poker’s initial lobby, however, this choice will be accessible for a limited time only and will be terminated shortly.

Both the Basic and Standard views also include innovative new characteristics such as new revolving graphic screen located on the left that provides customers direct entry to FullTiltPoker’s promos and events including the FTOPS, Iron Man, Play with the Pros, Full Tilt Poker Academy, Poker Deposit Bonuses, and many other poker promotions and Full Tilt Poker Tournaments, as well as an option for video that allows players to view videos directly from the Full Tilt Poker client.

Full Tilt Poker will attempt to stamp its name on the Guinness Records and to do so; the site has announced that it will try to set a new record for the Largest Online Poker Tournament. 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.

Putting together a poker tournament of this magnitude would be nearly impossible for any brick and mortar casino or poker room. The current record for the largest “live” poker tournament was set at the 2006 WSOP Main Event with 8,772 players. To break the current Guinness Record set by PokeStars.com in December, 2008, Full Tilt Poker will need to attract over 35.000 players. If successful, this tournament will establish Full Tilt Poker as World Record holder and cement its reputation as a world leader in online poker industry.

FullTilt.com has just unveiled an innovative informative section comprising all the facts of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an amazing online heads up poker tournament presenting some of the greatest big money online players taking on the online poker star Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The brand new website section gives poker players and fanatics the chance to monitor this historical internet poker challenge and check out timely challenge details. With this innovative “durrrr Challenge” portal poker players can follow all the action and review each hand played during the challenge, and look at lots of stats, including how many hands were played, session time, amount won, average won during each hand and lots more.

About six months ago, the twenty-three year old internet poker phenomenon handed out a heads-up poker challenge for any player with the cash, time and talent to accept it. Any player entering the poker challenge has to bet $500,000 against Dwan’s $1.5 million. Tom’s challenge specifies that a minimum 50,000 hands need to be played at the same time at four or more poker tables of no-limit Hold’em or pot-limit Omaha. At the end of the heads up challenge, the poker player who has more money will earn the pool. Essentially if you enter the challenge and win $1 after the 50,000 poker hands, then you will earn durrrr’s $1.5 Million, but if he wins by a dollar then he will take home your $500,000.

So far, several poker pros have consented to play the Full Tilt durrrr challenge, including WSOP Champ Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, yet, only Patrick Antonius has agreed to the Full Tilt Poker Challenge. Thus far, both players have taken part in a total of 20,647 poker hands out of 50,000, with durrrr up by $726,546 total.

If you would like to see more details on the Full Tilt Poker durrrr Challenge and durrrr vs. Antonius, please check out http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/durrrr-vs-antonius
