Online poker room FullTiltPoker.net is hosting a championship tournament at the Wynn in Las Vegas this Wednesday, July 13th. Fox Sports, the first and only network to have hosted live poker tournament coverage, will broadcast the FullTiltPoker.net Championship live.

The championship will bring together members of "Team Full Tilt," the site's group of resident poker pros. Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Jennifer Harman, Phil Ivey, Erik Seidel, John Juanda, Clonie Gowen, Phil Gordon, and Andy Bloch are all expected to participate. As poker ambassador of the Wynn, Daniel Negreanu is also expected to drop in. Players will compete for the $500,000 prize pool, which although paling in comparison the WSOP's $100 million plus prize pool, is respectable nonetheless.
