It’s hard to believe that Saturday began with only a handful of events left in FTOPS XXI.  Even though Full Tilt Poker’s annual tournament series seems to have gone by quickly up to this point, there is still time for you to buy into one of the biggest online poker tournaments around, FTOPS XXI’s Main Event, for $600+$40.

If you’d rather try to qualify for Sunday’s Main Event that has a guaranteed prize pool of $1.5 million or Event #34 which has a buy-in of $240+$16 via an affordable satellite instead of buying into either event, use this link to open an account with FTP now!

Saturday’s action began at 11am EST with the first day of play in a two-day, NL Hold’em tournament that had antes from its start.  With 699 entrants and a prize pool of $1,398,000, this event more than doubled its $500,000 guarantee.  Barring any deals at the final table, the first place finisher in this tournament is expected to bring home more than $335,000.  The final 72 contenders will be paid for their performance in this exciting tourney.

Like its predecessor, Event #32, a 7-Stud, Hi/Lo tournament with a buy-in of $200+$16, more than doubled its guarantee of $20,000.  When it began at 2pm EST, Event #32’s prize pool had swelled to an impressive $50,400.  Paying the final 32 out of the 252 who started the event, this tournament paid its first place finisher $11,243.48 after a deal  was made with two contestants remaining!

Similar to the two tournaments that started before it, Event #33 had more than doubled its guarantee by the time it began at 4pm EST.  With 766 entrants and a prize pool of $331,700, the last 72 competitors were paid for their impressive performance in this tournament.   

Competition ended on Saturday with 72 players still contending for the win in Event #31.  When play resumed at 10am EST on Sunday, the competition remained fierce until a champion was crowned more than eight hours later!
