Full Tilt and FSN Serving Poker for Thanksgiving

Full Tilt Poker is set to ring in the Thanksgiving holiday with some live poker action that will be broadcast on FSN at 6 p.m. EST, Thursday. Hosted by the Red Rock Casino, Full Tilt players Erik Lindgren, Allen Cunningham, Toto Leonidas, Phil Gordon, Roland De Wolfe, Jophn Juanda, and one lucky online qualifier will battle it out for a share of the $1 million prize pool.

This is the second time in the last year that Full Tilt has broadcast an event like this at Red Rock Casino, with Erik Lindgren taking down Mike Matusow in the first battle. Lindgren collected $600,000 for his efforts.

Trying to keep Lindgren from capturing his second Red Rock victory is a reputable group of players that have plenty of experience to put a cramp in his style. Cunningham is coming off of a monstrous World Series of Poker, winning his fourth gold bracelet and finishing fourth in the main event, while De Wolfe recently became the first player ever to hold both a World Poker Tour and European Poker Tour title after his recent European success.

Juanda is the only returning player from Lindgren's earlier triumph at Red Rock and should give E-dog a run for his money.

Full Tilt has also sponsored similar events like this one, the most notable one coming during Phil Ivey's monstrous performance in Monaco last year. Beating out seven other players, Ivey took first in the FullTiltPoker.net Invitational and collected $600,000 for his efforts after winning $1 million the day before at the Monte Carlo Millions event.
