The Full Tilt Online Poker Series, or FTOPS XX, added a little adrenaline rush for its 20th Event. The event cost players $200+$16 to enter and guaranteed a total prize pool of $150,000. In all, 555 players registered for the tournament and surpassed the guarantee by $2,600. Every one of the registrants had their eye on the $36,624 first prize. The tournament would finish quickly, even though it was a super stack tournament, due to its Rush Poker structure. Players started with 5,000 chips; the blinds started at 10/20 and would level up every six minutes. After a mere six hours and 53 minutes, the champion was crowned.
