Be on the lookout for a big announcement from Full Tilt Poker soon

If you missed any of the Nightly Turbos this week we're here to catch you up on the news. Full Tilt Poker is planning a big announcement for the upcoming week, Erik Seidel topped the All-Time Money List, and more.

Be on the lookout for a big announcement from Full Tilt Poker soon. Allegedly, the announcement is supposed to come on Monday regarding the online poker site's plans to launch land-based poker events.

PokerNews reached out to Full Tilt Poker when news of this announcement broke, but the site's spokesperson could not confirm anything at that point.

So far, all that has been leaked to Wicked Chops Poker, which first broke the story, is that the events would run in direct competition with other tours, and Full Tilt pros would not be able to play in competing tours if they coincide with the dates of the Full Tilt events.

We often contemplate the answer to this question, but we'll never really know it. Over the weekend, Erik Seidel added another accomplishment to his already spectacular year: he won the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship. He banked $750,000 for the win, bringing his 2011 total tournament earnings to over $4 million - yes, that's just 2011.

And as you may have guessed, that is, if you didn't already know, he has surpassed Daniel Negreanu on the All-Time Money List. Seidel now sits just $581,105 above Negreanu on the list. Even with a win in The Big Event, Negreanu can't take that title from Seidel - at least for now.
