With 7 events completed the nineteenth installment of the popular Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) has seen all seven tournaments exceed their guaranteed prize-pools, some by astronomical amounts! Perhaps the most impressive numbers come from Event #3, an innocuous looking $300 buy-in NLHE tournament that utilizes both the Rush Poker format and the newest Full Tilt innovation Multi-Entries. The $250,000 guaranteed prize-pool was absolutely crushed as the 3,291 entries created a prize-pool of nearly $1 million!

Here is a look at the first seven events of the FTOPS XIX and their total prize-pools compared to the guaranteed amounts:

• Event #1: $200+$16 NLHE with a $1 million guarantee – Total prize-pool $1,321,400
• Event #2: $200+$16 PLO Hi/Lo with a $200k guarantee – Total prize-pool $236,000
• Event #3: $300+$22 Rush Poker NLHE w/Multi-Entry and a $250k guarantee – Total prize-pool $987,300
