FTOPS V is a Success!
To say that Full Tilt Poker’s FTOPS V was a success would be an understatement. The FTOPS stands for Full Tilt Online Poker Series and is a tournament series which guaranteed $7 million in prize money over 14 total online poker tournaments but that was just the beginning.
The FTOPS popularity far exceeded expectations with each event having huge fields and making the total prize pool more than $10.5 million. Each of the pro hosted events beat the guarantee prize money with four having a prize pool that topped $1 million.
Phil Ivey hosted Full Tilts first two day poker tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $600,000. The $2,500 buy-in shattered that total with 648 players and raising the final prize pool total to an amazing $1,620,000. In the end first place winner, Grndhg25, took home $396,900.
FTOPS V was the most successful tournament series in Full Tilt Poker history with almost 25,000 players participating in the 14 poker events as well as poker pros from Team Full Tilt, Phil Ivey, Phil Gordon, Allen Cunningham, and Clonie Gowen.
This prompted Howard Lederer to say, “The FTOPS series proves that things happen faster and bigger online. In a little over a year, the prize pools have gone up over 5-1 and we expect an even bigger series in just a few months time.”
