With over 15 million in guaranteed prize money, the Full Tilt Poker FTOPS IX series kicks off on August 6th, 2008! The FTOPS consists of 24 events ranging in buy ins ranging from $200 + $16 up to the main event which is a $2500 + $120. The Full Tilt FTOPS tournaments brings out the biggest online poker players from around the globe to compete in what is one of the largest events of online poker. Kicking off the series of a $1,000,000 guaranteed NL Hold ‘Em with a $200 buy in. This event is sure to draw some of your favorite full tilt poker pro’s like Phil Ivey, Gus Hansen and others.

Last year, the main event was hosted by Phil Ivey and guaranteed 1.5 million with a hefty $2500 buy in, but still pulled in 899 of the best online poker players in the world.
Full Tilt FTOPS Satellites
This year, FullTiltPoker.com is adding in a FTOPS IX Satellite challenge. If you win your first entry into any of their FTOPS IX events and Full Tilt will automatically register you for that event. For every additional satellite seat you win to the same event, they give you T$ (tourney credits). If you win the most satellite entries above ALL other players they will give you the T$ equivalent of two more buy-ins. They also give something to 2nd place. In my opinion this satellite challenge is pretty weak unless you are a serious full tilt poker satellite player.
- $50 Daily Satellites - (7/10 - more available in lobby at lower buy-ins closer to start date)

FTOPS 2008 Bonuses
Along with the great tournament structure, seven figure prize pool guarantees FullTilt is sweetening the pot with a few cool bonuses. According to their site, if you final table an event you win a pretty sweet Full Tilt Poker limited edition “FTOPS Jacket”. It actually looks pretty sweet, much better than the Top 10 Dumbest Full Tilt Poker Gear choices. Fulltilt.com also offers the bubble player in every FTOPS event a seat in a ‘bouncebackability freeroll’ on the 23rd of August that gives a seat into the FTOPS main event. I guess it makes being the bubble boy less painful eh?

The WSOOF is organized by the guys over at Online Forum Challenge and they pit online forums against one another. Usually they are playing at some of the smaller and less well known poker rooms and we don’t take part, but this event happens to be right in our wheel house, being hosted at Full Tilt.
Full Tilt has been one of our long time favorite online poker rooms, and the Atlanta Poker Club has been playing since 2005.

Sportsbook Poker Bonus Broken Down
Maximizing the Sportsbook Poker Bonus
With deposit methods for USA poker players shrinking seemingly by the week, it is nice to know that a USA friendly poker room has both the easiest deposit options like Mastercard and Visa, but that they also offer incredible deposit bonuses to attract new players.
Sportsbook Poker is one of our top picks for ease of deposit for USA poker players and they are currently offering our readers an exclusive sportsbook poker bonus that goes above and beyond what the average player gets at their site. We put together a page detailing how the bonus is earned, and details on what it takes to maximize your deposit bonus at Sportsbook.com.
