The Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) XVII kicks off today, August 4th with a $750,000 guaranteed no-limit hold’em tournament. The event will feature a buy-in of $200+$16 and will begin at 9:00 p.m. EST.
The popular online poker series will see 34 events guaranteeing more than $19 million in prize money, including a $3 million-guaranteed, $600+$40 buy-in main event.
The FTOPS XVII is set to feature a bunch of unique formats to suit every player’s taste, including rush, knockout, shootout, turbo, ante-from-the-start, heads-up, and even a seven-game tournament. Buy-ins range from $109 to $2,100.
FTOPS winners also will receive other prizes in addition to their big paydays. Everyone who makes a final table will get a limited-edition FTOPS jacket. Those who win will get gold jersey avatars for use on the site. The site is also running a leader-board promotion to determine the best overall player of the Series. That player will win a custom avatar and approximately $8,500 in buy-ins for the next FTOPS.
Even those who don’t make the money will win, thanks to the Bouncebackability freeroll. Players who are eliminated on the money bubble will earn an entry into a special freeroll tournament to take place the day before the main event. The winner of that tournament will get a $500 seat, compliments of Full Tilt Poker.
