Full Tilt Poker’s FTOPS IX Guarantees $15 Million

As the 2008 WSOP is coming ever closer to crowning its champion, Full Tilt Poker has announced yet another massively lucrative poker tournament to catch the attention of today’s top pros, not to mention online poker fans around the world. You guessed it – the Full Tilt Online Poker Series is returning in August with its 9^th installment – FTOPS IX.

It wasn’t that long ago – May 2008 in fact – that online poker player “cheesemonster” was awarded the 1^st place prize in FTOPS VIII Main Event, earning his $410,780 share of the $2,375,000 prize pool. Yet here we are, looking ahead to FTOPS IX, which guarantees a minimum of $15,000,000 in overall prize money.

FTOPS IX will kick off August 6^th with its first of 25 events, $216 NL Hold’em with a guaranteed prize pool of $2,000,000. August 17 will mark the start of the FTOPS IX Main Event, $535 NL Hold’em worth a guaranteed prize pool of $2.5 million. See the complete Full Tilt Poker FTOPS IX Schedule below for more details.

Full Tilt Poker has not started hosting Satellites to FTOPS IX yet, but has announced the FTOPS IX Satellite Challenge. Should a player win a seat in the same FTOPS IX event more than once, the player will receive T$ (tournament dollars) equal to the buy-in of the FTOPS IX event. For example, winning two FTOPS IX Main Event Satellites would first award an entry to the event, followed by T$535. T$ can be used as the buy-in to enter tournaments the same way a player would use real cash.

Full Tilt Poker is also running an FTOPS IX Leaderboard Competition. The player who collects the most points in FTOPS IX events will win a custom avatar for use at the Full Tilt Poker online poker room.
