Phil Ivey: Almost guaranteed to be an FTOPS host
By: Sean Lind

The schedule for the 13th edition of the Full Tilt Online Poker Series has been released and it boasts a massive $16 million guaranteed over 25 events.

Action starts with a $200+$16 $1 million guaranteed No-Limit Hold'em event on August 5 and wraps with the $2.5 million main event on August 16.

Last year's $500+$35 main event saw online player azzabentonaces finish second to Pocketownage420, who took home the first-place prize of $432,000.

The MiniFTOPS

If you want to play the series, but don't have the roll for the full buy-ins, starting September 9th, Full Tilt will host the Mini FTOPS.

This tournament series boasts an identicle event structure as FTOPS xiii, but with all buy-ins costing only 1/10th of the full FTOPS price. This series has at least $400k guaranteed, and satellites are available for as few as 50 FTPs or ¢50.

As usual throughout the FTOPS, each event will have one Full Tilt pro hosting the event with a sizeable bounty to whomever can take his or her last chip.

The specific hosts are yet to be announced for the events, but the dates, times and event details are finalized and posted as follows:
