Full Tilt's FTOPS XI Details Released
Full Tilt Poker has now released details for next month's eleventh Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS XI). FTOPS XI will run February 4-15, 2009, and offer a busy 25-event agenda. The total in pre-tourney guarantees for the 25 events will be $15 million.
While the lineup of hosting pros has yet to be announced, a number of other details are now known. The event schedule is peppered with short-handed, knockout and shootout events, and while the majority of events are hold'em, most other major poker appearances make at least one appearance as well. The two-day high buy-in event ($5,000+300) returns to its usual spot spanning the final weekend (Feb. 14-15), and offers a $2 million guarantee. The conclusion of that event runs in conjunction with action in Feb. 15th's Main Event, which carries a $2.5 million guarantee and traditionally runs well into the early Monday hours to find its winner.
Each event's winner, in addition to a significant payday, receives one of the sought-after "FTOPS" online avatars, plus a special FTOPS leather jacket and a gold FTOPS jersey. Full Tilt is also returning its "Satellite Challenge" and "Bouncebackability" promotions in conjunction with FTOPS X. More information on each is available at Full Tilt.
