Full Tilt Online Poker Series in Full Swing

Online poker room, Full Tilt Poker, is in the midst of hosting its second big tournament series of the year, Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS). For FTOPS II, Full Tilt will be awarding more than $2.5 million in guaranteed prize money over the course nine events. In August, the total guaranteed prize pool was $1 million.

As players compete in the different tournaments, they will be awarded points based on their finishes and then ranked on the FTOPS Leaderboard. The overall winner at the end will receive a special avatar to use at the tables, displaying to all comers that he is the champion. Winners of the individual events will receive custom gold Full Tilt jerseys.
