Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) XVI – april 2010

April 22, 2010 · Posted in Online poker rooms, online poker tournaments 

It is amazing how time flies when you are having a good time (or just living the life). Why am I saying this?

Because it is time for Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) again! It wasnt long ago (in february 2010) when FTOPS XV was taking place. I am not sure if I wrote a post about it, but it was a big event.

More than $17 million in prize pool money had been won in total of 27 online poker events on Full Tilt Poker. As said above, now it is time for another Full Tilt Online Poker Series: FTOPS XVI!

So what can we expect from this online poker series? In short: a lot! But I am sure you are interested to hear about the details too, so here they are:

Details about FTOPS XVI

The FTOPS XVI will be starting on Full Tilt Poker from 23rd of April 2010 on and there will be a total of 30 events with a total guaranteed prize pool of 18$ million! Each event will be hosted by one of their Professional Poker Players.

Full Tilt Poker is obviously continuing its tradition in the sense that every new FTOPS is bigger than previous ones. I hope they will keep pushing the guaranteed prize pool limits in future events too.

Poker Tournaments on FTOPS XVI

There will be many tournaments going on, perhaps the ones I should mention are:

  • FTOPS (Full Tilt Online Poker Series) Main Event with a guaranteed prize pool of $3 million, and
  • Two-Day Event tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $2 million.

A few more words about Two-Day Event, it has a very large buyin ($2,000 + $100) and will be starting on 1st of May 2010 at 19:00 GMT.

The playing structure is also worth mentioning: You start with 6000 chips and the blinds increases every 30 minutes (antes will be collected from the start).

The first day of this online poker tournament will end when players get into the money.

Another good news is that you can get a ticket for the Two-Day Event at FTOPS XVI by playing qualifiers and satellites starting from $1 or 50 FTP Points upwards! You will find them in the Lobby under the »Tournaments / Satellite« tabs.

Interesting FTOPS XVI Prizes

Just like with past Full Tilt Online Poker Series, the FTOPS XVI is also spicing things up with interesting prizes like:

  • limited-edition jacket for all poker players who will make it to the final table of any FTOPS XVI event,
  • FTOPS event winners will also receive a jacket, as well as FTOPS jersey and a coveted gold jersey avatar at FTP (If you were wondering how certain players managed to get that gold jersey avatar, here is the answer), and
  • a custom FTP avatar for the winner of the FTOPS XVI Leaderboard together with an entry to every FTOPS XVII Event (except the Two-Day Event) worth $9,000 in tournament entries.

There are even more cool stuff and tournaments going on at Full Tilt Poker during FTOPS XVI! In case you want to participate in the action and get a share of $18 million, you are invited to take part.

Don’t forget, the FTOPS XVI starts tomorow at Full Tilt Poker, but you can start with qualifiers today! Good luck and see you around.
