Full Tilt announces FTOPS XII plus Mini FTOPS
Thursday, 26 March 2009
Full Tilt Poker have announced yet another run of the FTOPS, their flagship tournament series that seems to occur roughly as many times as T.J. Cloutier throws dice.
The main FTOPS series is set to run from May 6-17, and will feature 25 events on all forms of poker including Razz, H.O.R.S.E. and more other crazy games where you can’t go all-in preflop.
In addition to the $2.5m guaranteed Main Event there will be a 2-day high roller event with a $2,500 buy-in.
Also, for the first time, a Mini FTOPS series will run alongside the normal FTOPS events but the buy-ins will be one tenth of the size. The guarantees for the two-day and Main Events are $500k and $200k respectively.
New challenges will be implemented and tied to FTOPS including the Zero to Hero challenge where players must qualify for an event via a $1 super-satellite and then go on to cash in the tournament.
