FTOPS IV Underway at Full Tilt

It seems like the last Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) just wrapped up, but the fourth installation is in full swing right now over at Full Tilt Poker.  This go-around, Full Tilt is guaranteeing at least $4 million in total prize money over 10 events, compared to $3.6 million last time.   

The poker room is also adding more prizes for top finishers, including: 

• Limited edition FTOPS baseball caps (to everyone who cashes)
• Baseball cap and limited edition FTOPS jacket (final table finishers)
• Gold FTOPS jersey and gold FTOPS avatar plus all of the above (tournament winners)

   

And, as always, the overall leaderboard winner at the end of FTOPS IV will receive a custom avatar for use at Full Tilt. 

As an added bonus this year, Full Tilt will hold an FTOPS Tournament of Champions, bringing together the 27 past FTOPS event winners plus the 10 from FTOPS IV to duke it out in a winner-take-all tournament.  The champions’ champion will receive a $10,000 seat in the World Series of Poker Main Event.
