The internet popularity has just grown another not for many online casino poker enthusiasts. Full Tilt hosted one of the largest internet-based tournaments in the history of the internet, and players from all over the world joined in the games. The event, The 5th Full Tilt Online Poker Series, saw more entrants than previous tournaments and broke the company’s expectations about the sheer number of online casino poker participants anteing-up the event buy-ins.

The event boasted a guaranteed prize pool of US $7 million, but that quickly swelled as the number of participants in each even exceeded expectations. Across the planned 14 tournaments Full Tilt’s prize pool reached more than US $10.5 million. End participation numbers place the online casino poker players at roughly 25,000 participants across the many events.

The online casino poker industry should gear up for a slew of new poker tournaments considering how successful these events prove to be – and because of the sheer numbers of participants the tournaments draw to the Full Tilt site. Howard Lederer, a Full Tilt member comments. “The FTOPS series proves that things happen faster and bigger online. In a little over a year, the prize pools have gone up over 5-1 and we expect an even bigger series in just a few months time.”
