Multi Level Satellite Tournaments

Full Tilt Poker has announced the arrival of multi-level satellite tournaments at their online poker events. They have just launched a new tournament whereby places can choose to play on multiple tables in satellite events for entry into major poker competitions by sitting in on more than one virtual seat at a time by playing in a multi-table tournament (MTT). 

The MTT allows players to join poker games at any point either simultaneously or up until the cut off point and compete. The system will ensure that players do not play themselves on any tables and that each entry is seated at a different table. There will also be a maximum number of entries any single player can play at any one time depending on the event. 

Full Tilt admit there could be problems in the later stages of poker tournaments if a successful player still has multiple seats in play. The situation could arise where a multiple player could have more than one seat at a table in the later stages. If this occurs then they the player with two or more seats still active will have them merged into a single seat. 

If a player is forced to merge their entries then they will be combined with the one that has the lowest chip count to make a larger entry. If at this point the money bubble has been burst then the player will receive the equivalent cash prize as if they had been eliminated when the two seats were merged.
