It’s baaaaaaaaaaack. Full Tilt Poker’s Online Poker series (FTOPS) just keeps on rolling. It seems like only yesterday that the first FTOPS was held, but it’s been almost two years, and now we’re on FTOPS VIII. Running May 7 through May 18, FTOPS VIII will feature 24 events and a total of more than $10 million in guaranteed prize money, a million more than the last FTOPS. New this go-round are three “Mystery Tournaments,” which are, well, a mystery, as Full Tilt hasn’t said any more about them. The non-monetary prizes remain virtually the same as last time. Those who make the final table of an event will get a limited edition FTOPS jacket. Tournament winners will get the jacket, a gold FTOPS jersey, a gold FTOPS avatar to use at the online tables, and an entry into the FTOPS Season II Tournament of Champions. The Tournament of Champions will pit the winners of events in FTOPS V through VIII against each other, with a seat at the Main Event of the 2008 WSOP on the line. This tournament will be held on May 24. Full Tilt has brought back the "Bouncebackability" Freeroll, which it introduced in FTOPS VI, to FTOPS VIII. Those who receive the unfortunate distinction of “bubble boy” in an event will win an entry into this freeroll, where the ultimate winner will earn a seat in the next FTOPS Main Event.
