Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS XI) Is Back
February 5, 2009
Last night, Full Tilt Poker began its 11th installment of the renowned Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS XI). The online poker series features more than $15 million in guaranteed prize pools over 25 Pro-hosted events.
The action got underway last night, February 4th, as Full Tilt Pro Howard Lederer hosted Event #1, $200+$16 NL Hold’em with $1,000,000 guaranteed. FTOPS XI will continue with multiple daily events until the FTOPS XI Main Event – $500+$35 NL Hold’em, $2.5 million Guarantee – hosted by Full Tilt Pro John Juanda on Sunday, February 15th.
New to the FTOPS roster are two unique events. First is Event #12, a $1,000+$60 NL Hold’em tournament with a ‘Second Chance’ twist. All participants who falter within the first hour will be allowed to re-buy for free. Second is Event #18, a $200+$16 Pot Limit Omaha tournament played in Heads-Up fashion.
Overall, FTOPS XI will feature a wide diversity of tournament styles and poker variants, including Knockout and Shootout tournaments with Stud, Razz and H.O.R.S.E. on the menu. Of the 25-event schedule, 6 will feature guaranteed prize pools in the 7-digit range. These are:
