Technical difficulties stop Full Tilt's $300,000 guarantee

Competing with the Super Bowl wasn't Full Tilt Poker's only problem Sunday night. Due to technical difficulties, the $300,000 Sunday Guarantee was stopped and never re-started.

With 32 players left in Full Tilt Poker's $300,000 Sunday guarantee, the site went down and play stopped. The action never started again, and per the Full Tilt rules regarding technical difficulties, the remaining players split the prize money based on their relative stack sizes at the time of the crash.

Meanwhile at PokerStars.com, 5,709 people played in the PokerStars.com Sunday Million, building a prize pool of $1,141,800; impressive figures considering it was Super Bowl Sunday.
