FTOPS XV Ends, MiniFTOPS XV Up Next

Another Full Tilt Online Poker Series has wrapped up, padding the pockets of several happy players.

Among the happiest, no doubt, is JackQKA, winner of the $2,500,000 guaranteed main event held last Sunday, Feb 21.

The first winner of FTOPS XV was SolidGoldman24K, who took down the starting event of the 15^th Full Tilt Online Poker Series. It was one of several events with guarantees that were a million dollars or over. The other big FTOPS XV winners of events with million dollar or more guarantees are Jse81 (event 10), kingpin023 (event 12), and StackedYa (event 17). And last on that list is BadCardsAA who won the 2-day high=roller revent on Feb 20.

Next up at Full Tilt Poker is the MiniFTOPS XV, the smaller stakes counterpart to the just wrapped-up FTOPS XV. The events are the same—it’s just the buy-ins and guaranteed cash prizes that are smaller, with a total prize pool of at least $6 million guaranteed. The MiniFTOPS XV runs March 10 – 21 and satellite tournaments into these events are running now over at Full Tilt Poker.

FTOPS XIII Means Time to Ante Up For Africa Again

Every time the Full Tilt Poker Full Tilt Online Poker Series rolls around, so does the Ante Up For Africa charity tournament that serves as one its highlights. As FTOPS XIII is current in progress, Ante Up For Africa is not for behind.

Coming up this Saturday, August 15 at 1 pm ET for a $100 + $20 buy-in FullTilt will donate 100% of the $20 entry fee to the charity, which supports humanitarian efforts in Darfur. The winners of the collective $100,000 guaranteed prize pool are encouraged (but not required) to donate half their winnings to the charity too.

The event, as always, will be hosted by the actor famous for his roles in "Booogie Nights", "Hotel Rwanda", and "The Traitor", Don Cheadle - who also cofounded Ante Up For Africa in 2007 along with Norman Epstein and Annie Duke, and himself is an avid live poker player.

There was an Ante Up For Africa charity tournament played at the recent 2009 WSOP too, in which Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were among the competitors, that one for a $5,000 buy-in.

FTOPS XIII Schedule at Full Tilt Poker

Do you have what it takes to become the next Full Tilt Poker FTOPS champion?

Play for your share of more than $16 million in guaranteed prize money this August by registering for the FTOPS event of your choice soon.

The series starts this time around on August 5th and will run through August 16th.  The main event will feature a $2,500,000 guaranteed prize pool.  This tournament is a $500 buy in, however, you can qualify for this event for just a fraction of that at their satellite tournaments running daily.

However, this year there is an other online series that is going on at the same time as the FTOPS XIII.  The PokerStars 2009 WCOOP will be taking place during the FTOPS XIII.

Schedule for FTOPS XI Announced

After another wildly successful installment of the Full Tilt Online Poker Series last year, FullTilt Poker has announced the schedule for the coveted annual event's next incarnation, FTOPS XI.

Running February 4 to February 15 and comprised of 25 events, including the climactic $2.5 million guaranteed main event on February 15. Almost as mouth-watering is the $2 million guaranteed prize pool in the special two-day No Limit Holdem event for high-rollers (the buy-in is over $5k) starting February 14.

The FTOPS XI kicks off this year on February 4 with a $1 million guaranteed No Limit Texas Holdem tournament. Over the course of the next 12 days, players will enjoy tournaments not only in Texas Holdem but in Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Stud, Razz, and H.O.R.S.E.

Additionally, not all events will be No Limit tournaments--there will be Limit and Pot Limit tournaments in the FTOPS XI as well.

FTOPS X Wraps Up with US Player the Big Winner

Another year, another Full Tilt Online Poker Series. The 10th installment of this annually awaited tournament series started on the 5th of this month and wrapped itself up last night with American Julian Verse besting 5,224 other contenders for the $450,708.50 main event grand prize.

The main event was hosted by Scott Montgomery who came in 5th place in this year's World Series of Poker main event.

The most popular of the series' 25 events (at least in terms of the size of the player pool) was surprisingly not this $2.5 million guaranteed main event but the $120 + $9 No Limit Hold’em Knockout tournament, which saw 7,000 players vying for their share of the $500,000 guaranteed prize pool (pushed to $700,000 by all the buy-ins).

One player "yuvee04", however, might be considered the real big winner of the FTOPS X, while winning considerably less than Verse's $400k+ still claims bragging rights by winning two consecutive tournaments:

• Event 14 - $500 + $35 H.O.R.S.E.
• Event 15 - No Limit Holdem Turbo

Overall, Full Tilt Poker awarded more than $15 million in cash prizes to the best (and luckiest) of the contenders.

FullTilt Hosts FTOPS X Satellite Challenge

As we reported in an earlier posting, the time is upon us once again for Full Tilt Poker’s awesome 25-event online poker series (the Full Tilt Online Poker Series, to be exact). And we mentioned that, besides paying the buy-ins for your seats, you could win seats in the various events through satellite qualifiers being offered by Full Tilt.

They’re calling it the FTOPS X Satellite Challenge. And you may find it, like I did, different from any satellite qualifier you’ve seen before.

With the FTOPS X Challenge you vie to win as many entries to FTOPS X tournaments as you can. After you win your first entry into a particular event, you will immediately be registered for that event. Simple and familiar enough so far, right?

But now here’s where it gets tricky – and beautiful! Anytime you win another seat into an event that you already have a seat in, you win T$ added to your account, equivalent to the buy-in of the given tournament.

So, for example, if the buy in is $300 + $22, you’d win 322 T$.

Also, be the person to win the most satellite entries to any event and win T$ equal to twice the buy-in. Have the second most wins to any given event and win an extra 1 buy-in worth of T$.

The FTOPS X Satellite Challenge runs Oct. 2 to Nov. 16

FTOPS X Satellite Tournament Challenge

FTOPS X is not only full of great guaranteed poker tournaments, but also home of the FTOPS X Satellite Tournament Challenge.  This feature allows players to earn extra T$, or tournament dollars, by winning multiple satellite entries to the same FTOPS X tournament.

For example, if you win five satellites into the $500 + $35 FTOPS X Main Event, you’ll receive a tournament entry and $2,140 in T$.

If you win the most satellite tournaments to a single event you will also receive the T$ equivalent of two more buy-ins.

This satellite challenge has already begun at Full Tilt Poker so some players have a leg up in some events.  For example, at the time of this writing already event #1's leader in the satellite challenge as 52 satellite wins!  However, event #2 only has 4 players in the running and the top spot is held be a player with only 3 satellite wins.

FTOPS X is sure to be one of the biggest FTOPS events of the fall at Full Tilt Poker.

Full Tilt Online Poker Series X

Just one day after Election Day, November 5, 2008, Full Tilt Poker launches its 10th Full Tilt Online Poker Series, better known as FTOPS X. Consisting of 25 events and boasting over $15 million in guaranteed prizes, the event is one of the most popular and eagerly awaited online poker tournament events each year.

This year’s inaugural event will be a 6-handed No Limit Holdem event with a $200 + $16 buy-in and a guaranteed prize pool of $1 million. Though most of the events have buy-ins over $200 (with only 3 requiring less to sit in), Full Tilt is hosting numerous satellite opportunities to win their way into each of the event’s tournaments for free.

There is also a “Bouncebackability” Freeroll available solely to the last player eliminated from each event “before the money” (or “on the bubble”). The winner of this freeroll will receive a free seat in the FTOPS main event.

In addition to its big cash prizes, Full Tilt Poker will also be presenting every player who works their way into the final table of any of the event’s 25 tournaments with a limited edition FTOPS X jacket. All tournament winners will receive, in addition to their cash winnings and the limited edition jacket, a gold FTOPS jersey along with a gold FTOPS avatar to use with their Full Tilt Poker account.

FTOPS X culminates on Sunday, November 16 with the $2.5 million guaranteed main event, a $500 + $35 No Limit Holdem tournament.

Full Tilt FTOPS IX Main Event

FTOPS IX has come and gone and now there is a new Main Event champion. Full Tilt player dubbeemin has taken home the top main event prize of $432,400.00!

The field was set at 4,800 players that either bought their way directly into the tournament for $535 or qualified via one of Full Tilt's many satellite qualifiers to the FTOPS IX Main Event.

The FTOPS IX Main Event paid out the top 648 players, with 648th place receiving $725.

There were several Full Tilt Pro's who competed in the $2.5 million guaranteed Main Event. They were:

Full Tilt FTOPS IX

Full Tilt Poker has once again launched their FTOPS poker series during August.  FTOPS IX features a variety of tournaments ranging in games from hold'em to omaha and features over $15 million in guaranteed prize money to players.

The FTOPS IX Main Event is scheduled to take place August 17th, 2008 and will have $2.5 million in guaranteed cash prizes.  This event will be hosted by none other then Chris "Jesus" Ferguson and is a No Limit Hold'em event.

As of this post, FTOPS IX has awarded over $11 million in prize money through 19 FTOPS events.  That means you still have time to get in on the action with an estimated $4 million more in guaranteed money to give away at Full Tilt Poker.
