Its time again for the Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) to take place. This year’s series will feature twenty-four events and more than ten million US dollars in guaranteed prize money.

The event will run from May 7 to May 18. At least five of the top events will have prize money of 1 million US dollars or more. The first event is a 200-dollar buy-in 6-handed no-limit hold'em event with an impressive $750,000 prize pool. It is set to start on 7 May at 9 p.m. Eastern Time.

The two most popular events of the series have to be, the 2 500-dollar buy-in 2-day no-limit hold'em competition, and the exciting main event. The first-mentioned is a 2-day event with a $1.5 million guaranteed prize pool, and the 1st day of play will be held on May 17. It takes a 500-dollar buy-in to enter the main event, which has a whopping guaranteed winning pool of two million dollars. It will take place on the final day of the series on May 18.

The popular Bouncebackability free roll event will return to take the bubble-boys (gamers who miss out on the prize money by 1 spot) from every event and enter them in a tournament that will award an entry into the main event.

The biggest promotion planned during the series is the FTOPS Tournament of Champions. This event will feature the champions from previous FTOP series to play a free-roll for a World Series of Poker main-event seat.
