Full Tilt Poker.com is to improve its players' chances of success through coaching by top poker pros following the opening of the site's new Full Tilt Poker Academy this week.

The teachers roster for the virtual classroom reads like a who's who of land and online poker, including as it does Chris Ferguson, Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Jennifer Harman, Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel, Andy Bloch, Phil Gordon, John Juanda, Mike Matusow, Gus Hansen, Allen Cunningham and Patrik Antonius.

Collectively, these aces have won 35 World Series of Poker bracelets, 12 World Poker Tour titles and more than $82-million in tournament winnings.

This is a very clever way for Full Tilt to market their room. As it will ensure more and more beginners will sign up thus attracting the bigger players. Win win. Be interesting to see how this goes.

Full Tilt Poker management's decision to boost the guarantee on the prize pool for its main weekend million dollar tourney was vindicated by big player turnouts last weekend, with "grimmy101" taking home an impressive $216 000 as the winner - a good return on the $500+$35 buy-in.

2 355 entrants registered for the event, inluding many Internet poker hotshots, but the final table was eventually decided as Chris "CzarBushov" Bush with 3 724 101 as chipleader, grimmy101 (1 650 367), GhostRideIt (1 217 124), BRO20 (1 135 740), P0K3RDUUDE (1 125 375), Charlie Jean (947 230), vtlaxer09 (732 433), ChipConvergence (649 561) and brendand00 (593 069).
