With four million dollars guaranteed over the course of the Full Tilt Online Poker Series number four its hard for a small timer like myself to persue one the many satellites feeding into these monster prize pools.

As I'm typing this the double stacked 6-max no limit hold em' tourney orginally fired off with a staggering 2,555 runners at $216 a piece creating a first prize of over $100,000. Not a bad haul for a night's worth of work, and getting by some of the toughest online and live players around.

Allen Cunningham, you may know him from his various World Series of Poker wins and finishing 4th in the largest WSOP main event last year, he's currently stacked at 21K chips with...

... wait make that 29K chips as I was typing, with 638 runners left thus pushing him up to the top 30 in the tourney.

... ok he just doesn't want to sit still, he's up to 45K in chips now good for 4th place overall, who says live tournament pros can't hack it online?
