On Monday, the industry learned who was the big winner of the Mini Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS), whose Main Event played out yesterday. Within a few hours of the tournament’s conclusion, Full Tilt released the schedule for FTOPS XX.

The milestone 20th running of the FTOPS features a slate of 45 events and a total guaranteed prize pool of $38 million. The action gets underway on Sunday, April 17th with a customary $216 No Limit Hold’em tournament, which will once again take on a Multi-Entry format. During FTOPS XIX, nine events were Multi-Entry tournaments and, this time around, that number has been bumped up to 15.

The FTOPS XX Main Event is shaping up to be colossal. The tournament will boast a $7.5 million guaranteed prize pool and allow players to register up to six times. Its format and buy-in were not available at press time.

During the last FTOPS, a prize pool of nearly $9 million was built in the $640 No Limit Hold’em Multi-Entry Main Event and bracelet winner Blair “blur5f6” Hinkle walked away with a $1.1 million payday, the largest of FTOPS XIX, following a three-way chop.

FTOPS XIX also had 45 tournaments and shelled out a combined prize pool of just over $38 million, the first time the series had crossed $30 million. Without further delay, here is the FTOPS XX schedule:
