Full Tilt Poker often holds a series of tournaments called the FTOPS (Full Tilt Online Poker Series). These are highly popular throughout the online community, as they act as a mini World Series of Poker and are a great way to enjoy yourself if you can’t make the live events. With each and every series that takes place, more money is given away, more tournaments are added and more players take part, making the series overall a much better experience. Each tournament is hosted by a Full Tilt Pro who attends the game, and also chooses the game type. The latest series, FTOPS XII, starts in May 2009. The schedule has been released and it is as follows:
