FTOPS XVI Begins April 23, 2010

[lkport]

Full Tilt Poker is about to kick off another of their wildly successful Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS). FTOPS XVI will feature 30 events. Though a bit out of the range of your author, these games can be instructional and entertaining for us bankroll challenged types. If you are a high roller, the forum would like to hear of your progress in these events. Knowing someone in the event makes watching that much more fun. MiniFTOPS, more in line with my bankroll, is set to begin May 07, 2010. Watch for a separate report when we get a bit closer to that date.

30 Events - $18 Million Guaranteed!
Starting April 23rd, FTOPS XVI offers 30 events with a total guaranteed prize pool worth $18 million. This series features a wide selection of tournaments, each hosted by a Full Tilt Pro, including:

Knockout, Shootout, Turbo and Super Turbo events
The Two-Day Event, featuring two days of play and a guaranteed prize pool of $2 million
The massive FTOPS Main Event, now featuring a guaranteed prize pool of $3 million
