New Iron Man Challenge Features At Full Tilt Poker - Daily Bonus Medals And Freerolls.

Iron Man status table The Iron Man Challenge has always been one of Full Tilt Poker (FTP) most popular promotions, and now there are even more reasons why you should take part in this monthly event to help pump up your bankroll and enjoy exciting online poker experience.

Last month, czee2212 made Full Tilt Poker history and won $50K by defeating 3 Full Tilt Poker pros in heads-up play, proving that on any given day, any player has a chance to compete on par with the very best in the game. Just because czee2212 became the first to accomplish this impressive feat doesn't mean he'll be the last, so now is the time to let all the online poker players know that they have the chance to follow his lead.

czee2212's road to Iron Man Challenge history began when he won the Silver Freeroll tournament. He then went on to best the Iron Man Challenge Freeroll winners in a 4-player Sit 'n Go (SNG), earning the opportunity to play Clonie Gowen, Brad Booth, and Erik Seidel in consecutive heads-up matches.

Dedication.
By competing in the Iron Man Challenge, players return regularly to the FTP website to boost their profit. It's when players hit the table every day. They're tough to beat, because they've stared across miles of felt and flipped over thousands of cards. There's also another type of dedication, which is when you show your appreciation for a special group of people. That's why every player who reaches Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Iron status will receive special Iron Man medals each month, based on their overall performance.

You can redeem Iron Man medals in FTP's exclusive Iron Man Challenge Store for tournament tokens, cash bonuses, the chance to create your own tables, and more. You will receive from 25 up to 100 medals in the first month depending on your status.

Play More to Win More
In future months, you can earn additional medals in two ways:
- Maintain your current Iron Man Challenge level for consecutive months,
- Move from one level to a higher one in consecutive months.
The chart below shows the number of medals you can receive each month.

IRON MAN STATUS MONTH 1 MONTH 2-3 MONTH 4-6 MONTH 7-12 MONTH 13+
Iron 100 120 150 200 300
Gold 70 85 100 125 175
Silver 40 50 60 75 100
Bronze 25 30 35 45 60

Iron Man Bonuses
As a reward for our Iron Man Challenge players, Full Tilt Poker room is offering special bonuses that can earn you over $100,000 in additional cash prizes or extra Iron Man Challenge medals. If you're just starting out in the Iron Man Challenge, be sure to check out FTP's "One A Day Freeroll" where earning just one point per day each day of the month will qualify you to play in a special $2,000 Freeroll.

Bonus Freerolls
For some poker players, becoming a Full Tilt Poker Iron Man is about more than medals. That's why the room offers you the chance to put your metal to the test in one of the four monthly Freeroll tournaments. Compete for the first-place prize money and the chance to face the other 3 Freeroll champions in a four-player shootout tournament where the winner will walk away with an additional $5,000. See the image below for the tournament schedules.

What's more, the winner of the Sit & Go tournament will go on to play three of red Full Tilt Poker pros in consecutive heads-up matches. Beat one pro, and you'll be given $5,000 on top of your previous winnings. Beat two pros, and you'll be awarded with $10,000. If you are a Bronze, Silver or Gold Freeroll winner and beat all three, you'll get $50,000. But, if you are the winner of the Iron Man Freeroll and scoop all three matches, the room will give you an extra $50,000 for a total of $100,000!

Iron Man Plus
For those of you who go beyond 200 points a day, FTP has Iron Man Plus. By earning a minimum of 500 Full Tilt Points in a day - and qualifying for any of the four Iron Man Levels - you can earn extra Iron Man medals for use in the Iron Man Store. With each new plateau you reach, you will earn more medals - up to 20 extra medals per day.

500 Points = 2 Medals
1000 Points = 3 Medals
1500 Points = 5 Medals
2000 Points = 10 Medals.

Remember, becoming an Iron Man isn't easy - it takes a lot of hard work and dedication. But for those players who are willing to go above and beyond, Full Tilt Poker has a special bonus. Start playing today and see if you have what it takes to become a Full Tilt Poker Iron Man.
