In February, Full Tilt held its biggest Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) ever with 13,985 players competing for more than $3.4 million in guaranteed prize money. When all was said and done, Traheho took home more than $288,000 for winning their gigantic Main Event hosted by none other than the 2000 WSOP Main Event champ - and Full Tilt Poker superstars, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson. Boosted J claimed his own personal avatar and the top spot on the FTOPS III Leaderboard for his performance throughout the series...as well as bragging rights, of course.
In May, Full Tilt is upping the ante on this incredible series by guaranteeing at least $4 million in prize money over 10 events. They're adding even more prizes for their top finishers.
Yes. Players who finish in the money in any FTOPS IV tournament will receive a limited-edition FTOPS baseball cap while those who reach the final table in any FTOPS IV tournament will receive a baseball cap and a limited-edition FTOPS jacket. Winners of any FTOPS IV tournament will receive the baseball cap and jacket, along with a gold FTOPS jersey and a gold jersey avatar for use on Full Tilt Poker.
Now that's a sweet upgrade, wouldn't you say?
So if you're ready to play for the FTOPS title, make sure you don't miss one of the nightly tournaments. Buy-ins for these events range from $100 + $9 to $1000 + $60, with satellites starting for as little as $2 + $0.25.
