The Full Tilt Online Poker Series is set to return in April, with the upcoming FTOPS marking the 20th installment of the popular online poker tournament series. In recognition of the 20th running of the FTOPS, Full Tilt Poker is guaranteeing $38 million in prize-money for the 45 event tournament series.
The FTOPS XX will begin on Aril 17, 2011 and run through May 1, 2011.
The FTOPS XIX –the first to offer Multi-Entry tournaments—came close to breaking $40 million in total prize-money awarded, after guaranteeing a mere $22 million in prize-money prior to the series beginning! Even though Full Tilt Poker now has a better gauge as to Multi-Entry prize-pools it would be surprising if the FTOPS XX didn’t easily succeed its predecessors –my guess is they will bring in around $45 million in total prize-pools.
Here is a look at some of the more prominent tournaments that will be taking place during the FTOPS XX:
- Event #1: $200 + $16 No Limit Hold’em Multi-Entry $3,000,000 Guaranteed
- Event #4: $1,000 + $60 No Limit Holdem Six-Max $1,000,000 Guaranteed
- Event #10: $100 + $9 No Limit Holdem Six-Max Rebuy Multi-Entry $1,500,000 Guaranteed
- Event #15: $310 + $12 No Limit Holdem Super Turbo Multi-Entry $1,000,000 Guaranteed
- Event #19: $10,000 + $300 No Limit Holdem Heads-Up Two-Day Event $1,000,000 Guaranteed
- Event #22: $120 + $9 No Limit Holdem Knockout Multi-Entry $2,000,000 Guaranteed
- Event #24: $300 + $22 No Limit Holdem Multi-Entry $3,000,000 Guaranteed
- Event #27: $1,000 + $60 No Limit Holdem Multi-Entry $2,000,000 Guaranteed
- Event #33: $300 + $22 No Limit Holdem Six-Max Rebuy $1,000,000 Guaranteed
- Event #37: $200 + $16 No Limit Holdem Cubed Rush Multi-Entry $1,000,000 Guaranteed
- Event #40: $2,000 + $100 No Limit Holdem Ante Two-Day Event $2,500,000 Guaranteed
- Event #44: $240 + $16 No Limit Holdem Six-Max Knockout Multi-Entry $2,000,000 Guaranteed
- FTOPS XX Main Event: Buy-In TBA, Multi-Entry $7,500,000 Guaranteed
The tournament series will kick off with a $200 buy-in NLHE tournament with Multi-Entries featuring a massive $3 million guaranteed prize-pool. The Main Event of the FTOPS XX looks to be set to challenge for the largest prize-pool in online poker history, considering the FTOPS XIX Main Event made a strong run at the record, and that tournament featured a guaranteed prize-pool of just $3 million!
Throughout the entire tournament series players will find a number of different games and formats to choose from including Triple Draw, 10-Game Mix, Badugi, Rush Poker, Knockouts, Heads-Up, and Shootouts.
