On Saturday, May 24th, 2008 and Sunday, May 25th, 2008, Full Tilt Poker will host the $25K Heads-Up World Championship. This online tournament will feature a field of up to 64 players competing in a series of single-elimination, heads-up poker matches until a final champion is determined.

Players may buy into this tournament directly for $25,000 in either real money or T$, or may satellite their way into the event through online qualifiers run on Full Tilt Poker. $500 + $35 heads-up qualifier tournaments will take place at 15:00 ET on Thursday, May 22nd and at 21:00 ET on Friday, May 23rd.

Online Heads-Up Qualifiers

All players who buy their way directly into these heads-up qualifier tournaments or win their entry through an online satellite will not be allowed to unregister from the events before their scheduled start times.

All qualifier tournament entries are non-transferrable and non-refundable, except in the case that an imperfect number of players are registered for these events at the time they are scheduled to start. In these instances, Full Tilt Poker will manually unregister players until a perfect starting field (e.g., 16, 32, 64) is achieved. Players will be unregistered from the qualifier events in the reverse order in which they were registered, with the last player entering the field being the first removed, and so on, until a perfect field is achieved.

All players who bought directly into these qualifier events and who are manually unregistered by Full Tilt Poker will have their buy-in returned to their account in the same currency in which they registered (real money, T$, etc.). All players who are unregistered after winning their $535 entry through a satellite will receive 535 T$.
