Online Poker

Full Tilt Poker is getting ready for another exciting Full Tilt Online Poker Series, with $16 million in guaranteed prize money.

From 4 November to 15 November, FTOPS XIV will offer players the chance to win epic amounts of prize money. The first event alone will be a No Limits Hold 'Em tournament with a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool, and the big prize money won’t stop there, as the series concludes with the $2,500,000 guaranteed FTOPS Main Event on 15 November. With buy-ins to FTOPS tourneys costing between $100 + $9 and as much as $2,500 + $120, this is a poker series designed for serious online poker players willing to risk a decent stake for a chance at the big money.

FTOPS XIV won’t just be limited to players who can afford direct buy-ins, however. Satellite tournaments into the events are running at Full Tilt Poker every day, with qualifiers into the first event already available for as little as $36 + $3. Players with the skills to earn their way into the major FTOPS tourneys will find these satellite tournaments are excellent value, but the popularity of FTOPS satellites means that they are filled with stiff competition. Winning your way into an FTOPS tournament is great preparation for the actual FTOPS events.

For those players who don’t feel like taking their chances on the FTOPS satellites, the MiniFTOPS XIV tournaments will be held from 9 December. MiniFTOPS is one of the best-loved features of FTOPS. Providing players with the same tournaments that are found on the main FTOPS schedule, but for 1/10th of the buy-in, it is a budget tournament series that still manages to put big prize money up for grabs. $4 million in guaranteed prize money makes MinFTOPS excellent value, which is why the miniseries draws incredible numbers of players every time it is held.

A great bonus for the most successful players in FTOPS XIV will be the extra prizes! On top of prize money, all those players who make it to the final table of an FTOPS event will receive a limited edition FTOPS jacket. Event winners will also receive a gold FTOPS jersey and a special gold jersey avatar. Even better, the player who finishes highest on the FTOPS XIV leaderboard will receive a custom Full Tilt Poker avatar, and entry into every single event of FTOPS XV, except for the 2-day event. Win one of the FTOPS events, and you can constantly remind all of your friends on Full Tilt just how good a poker player you are with your gold jersey avatar.

Now is a great time to join Full Tilt Poker if you would like to practice for FTOPS or play in a satellite into one of the events. New players will get great value by starting to play now, as Full Tilt has a 100% bonus that can be earned on first deposits of up to $600. As FTOPS is one of the most prestigious online poker tournament series, you will want to get in a lot of practice before trying to win your share of $16 million.
