FTOPS XX and Big Money Sunday for May 1st

Big Money Sunday – April 10th

AlCantHang — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 20:54:20 +0000

This was the “slow” Sunday on Full Tilt, the weekend sandwiched between Double Guarantees week and the kickoff of FTOPS XX on April 17th but how that definition was crushed with a nearly $2,000,000 prizepool in the biggest game of the day along with the $1,000 Onyx Cup Qualifier.

FTOPS XIX: Tournament History and Blair “blur5f6″ Hinkle

AlCantHang — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 18:38:04 +0000

I wasn’t exactly going out on a limb last week when predicting the records set would not hold up more than a week. Full Tilt put a $3,000,000 Guarantee on the FTOPS XIX Main Event and never came close to sweating it. That number was passed before the first card was dealt and the poker [...]

FTOPS XVIII – Soi Nguyen’s Backup Plan

AlCantHang — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 21:49:42 +0000

When looking for a Soi Nguyen picture for a post I could easily track down an action shot or something from the final table but I just can’t help but post his post-game photo with his supporters. They were great. It’s been just over a week since the latest poker legend was crowned and Full [...]

AlCantHang — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 16:01:04 +0000

Brandon Adams must have been reading the other day when I mentioned only 5 Full Tilt pros have managed an FTOPS victory over the 300+ tournaments to date. He added a 6th title for the red letter pros on the very same day. Adams made the Limit Omaha/8 final table but as one of the [...]
