Full Tilt Poker might seem like the little brother to PokerStars much of the time, but they have very good and profitable tournament series for players. Also, being the smaller company, they are willing to try new and different promotions to get players to give them a try and play on their site. FTOPS XXVIII is a great example of this ingenuity. We will look at the series and the promotions surrounding it, so you can get the most out of your money in this series that spans 35 events and has $4,000,000 guaranteed!
FTOPS XXVIII Tournaments of Note
The FTOPS series is known for its high stakes nature and this series is no exception. The quality of the tournaments are second to none, and they have decided to double down on that by electing to go for quality over quantity. The series offers 35 events spread out over a two week window starting on Sunday, March 15th and ending Sunday, March 29th with the $1,000 re-entry Main Event with a $1,000,000 guarantee. Satellites are running around the clock to allow players to qualify for these tournaments for nearly any bankroll size.
The series features 34 other events that are all over $100 in buy-in with many being much closer to $250 or more. With this though comes very high guarantees with more than a handful over $300,000. The type of events run the full course with some more esoteric events such as the 25-game mix and a 10-game mix multi entry, and more normal events such as Stud high/low, limit hold’em and much more. Most events are not re-entry, except for those specifically marked, and a few events are also multi-entry, meaning players can have more than one entry at a time in a tournament. If you are a player that is looking to test your skills in some tough, but lucrative tournaments then the FTOPS is a great addition to your schedule, and the promotions associated with it also add even more bonus to your grind.
FTOPS Promotions
Tournament satellites have long been a favorite of recreational and professional players alike. It allows everyone to soften the blow of big tournaments and take shots at life changing money. Full Tilt Poker is adding a little bit more to that equation this FTOPS. If a player satellites into an event and cashes in said event they will be eligible for some great prizes. The more tournaments that you complete this task, the better the prize. If you satellite into a tournament and cash in it you get entry into a freeroll at the end of the series, 2 cashes nets you a MiniFTOPS Main Event ticket, if you manage 3-4 cashes you receive that same MiniFTOPS Main Event ticket and T$50 and 5 or more events that you accomplish this feat gets you a MiniFTOPS Main Event ticket and T$100!
If satellites aren’t your thing, or you just don’t think you have the time for them, then you can still take advantage of great prizes for doing well in tournaments. If you make it to the final table of a FTOPS event then you will receive a custom jacket from Full Tilt Poker, the details are not known about what it will look like but Full Tilt Poker promises it will be worth it. If you manage to capture a FTOPS event title then you will receive the coveted gold jersey, gold jersey avatar and the jacket. If you happen to get eliminated on the bubble of any FTOPS event you will be entered into a freeroll that will give you a shot at a FTOPS XXIX Main Event ticket.
