Online Poker -- FTOPS XV Begins WednesdayOver $17 Million Up For Grabs in 27-Event Series |
|
Starting Wednesday, Full Tilt Poker is bringing back its quarterly tournament series with the Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) XV. The popular series will be guaranteeing more than $17 million in prize money over the course of its 27-event run, including $2.5 million for the $500 buy-in main event.
The money is, of course, the main draw for the players, but FTOPS winners also will receive other prizes in addition to their big paydays. Everyone who makes a final table will get a limited-edition FTOPS jacket. Those who win will get gold jersey avatars for use on the site. The site is also running a leader board to determine the best overall player of the series. That player will win a custom avatar and approximately $8,500 in buy-ins for the next FTOPS.
Even those who don’t make the money will win, thanks to the Bouncebackability freeroll. Players who are eliminated on the money bubble will earn an entry into a special freeroll tournament to take place the day before the main event. The winner of that tournament will get a $500 seat, compliments of Full Tilt Poker.
The series will include a wide variety of games and formats such as knockouts, shootouts, turbos, and even a seven-game tournament. Buy-ins range from $100 to $2,500 depending on the event.
