Full Tilt Announces $16M, 25-Event FTOPS XIII Schedule
”Mini FTOPS” Slate Returns, “Ante Up For Africa” Fundraiser Included
Full Tilt Poker has now released plans for its 13th Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS). This latest edition of the world’s second-largest recurring online poker series is scheduled for August 5-16, 2009 and includes 25 events and a guaranteed prize pool of $25 million.
Full Tilt has also announced that the popular “Mini FTOPS” that debuted alongside FTOPS XII will return in this edition. The traditional FTOPS XIII will again include a couple of the features special to the FTOPS series, such as the final weekend’s two-day short-handed “high roller” event with a $2,620 buy-in and a $2 million guaranteed prize purse, and of course the main event itself, which begins on Aug. 16 and offers a $2.5 million pool for its $535 entry fee.
In addition, an unnumbered event, a special “Ante Up For Africa” fundraiser, has been schedule for August 15. More details on this and other FTOPS events will follow in a future update. The complete lineup of event hosts has also yet to be announced, but here is the schedule for FTOPS XIII:
