Full Tilt kicked off the eighth instalment of its Full Tilt Online
Poker Series (FTOPS) yesterday with a $216 buy-in six-handed
no-limit Hold’em event with a $750,000 guarantee.
The first of 24 events running from now until 18th May, the
online casino is guaranteeing ten million dollars in prizes and
stated that at least five events will have guarantees of one
million dollars or more.
The FTOPS will feature three ‘mystery tournaments’ but the most
anticipated are likely to be the $2,500 buy-in two-day no-limit
Hold'em event and the main event. The two-day event features a
guaranteed prize pool of $1.5 million with the first day of play
starting on 17th May, while the main event will have a two million
dollar guarantee alongside a buy-in of $500.
The FTOPS continues later today with a pot-limit Omaha knockout
event featuring a $200,000 guarantee and one of the mystery events
before tomorrow’s seven-card stud eight-or-better match with a
$100,000 prize pot. Tomorrow will also feature a pot-limit Hold’em
event with a $200,000 guarantee.
FullTilt.com is also holding a FTOPS Tournament of Champions
promotion that will see winners from each event of the FTOPS V, VI,
VII and VIII play a freeroll for a World Series of Poker main event
seat. These winners have already been entered with the tournament
scheduled for 24th May after the FTOPS VIII has ended.
