2010 FTOPS About a Month Away

Full Tilt Poker is gearing up for the 2010 Full Tilt Online Poker Series which begins next month. The tournament series will begin on February 10th and will feature twenty seven events. The series has grown tremendously since it first began back in 2006.

When the FTOPS began, players had eight events to participate in and about $1 million dollars in total prize money. Now the tournament series has twenty seven events and will offer over $17 million dollars in prize money.

FTOPS XV will begin on the 10th of February with Shootouts, Turbo and Super Turbo, as well as Knockout events. Each event will be hosted by a Full Tilt Pro and players can find out which pros will be hosting each event by visiting Full Tilt Poker and viewing the full schedule under the FTOPS tab. Players who win a FTOPS XV will earn the cash prize as well as a limited edition FTOPS jacket. Players will also earn a Gold FTOPS jersey and a Gold jersey avatar which can be used at Full Tilt Poker. the player who earns the top spot on the FTOPS XV Leader board will get a special avatar which will be custom made. The Leader board winner will also earn a prize package worth $8,500 which includes entry to every FTOPS XVI event except the two day event.

Players who may not have the bank roll for FTOPS XV events can participate in the Mini FTOPS. The mini version will begin in March and will have twenty seven similar events but with a much smaller buy-in. the Mini version will offer players a smaller total prize pool but it will still offer over $6 million dollars in prize money.
